Question 400: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he has plans to create a fund similar to the National Pensions Reserve Fund to fund existing local authority pension liabilities and the expected further increases in liabilities arising from improvements in life expectancy.

I have no such plans. The objective of the National Pension Reserve Fund is to meet as much as possible of the costs of social welfare and public service pensions from 2025 onwards.
