I thank the Minister for the clarification. New entrants to Sport Ireland will come under the gold-plated defined benefit scheme that is not applicable to people such as the Aer Lingus and airport pensioners about whom I have been talking and who have had their benefits cut by 50% or 60% by the Government. I am sure the latter will be very interested to know that new entrants to Sport Ireland, a new State body, will have access to a defined benefit scheme. I thank the Minister of State for his answer.
