The Minister said the Bill gives something back to all. Senator Norris referred to Senators and so on but I would like to mention local authority members. In 2011, changes were made to how they were treated. I acknowledge this comes under the remit of the Minister for Social Protection but the Minister should meet with her and the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government. I am delighted to discuss the restoration of pension income, but what pensions have councillors?
