Following receipt of instructions recently from the Department of Finance relating to pension rights of part-time public servants, detailed proposals to address the pension position of part-time employees of local authorities are being prepared by my Department. These proposals will be discussed with staff representatives as soon as possible and a circular letter will then issue to local authorities in the matter.
