I announced in my Budget speech that I was conducting a review of the National Pensions Reserve Fund in the context of recent economic and fiscal developments. I asked Mr Maurice O'Connell, former Governor of the Central Bank, to conduct the review. Mr O'Connell has now submitted his review to me and I am considering his conclusions.
As I stated in my Budget speech, any changes requiring legislation will be brought forward in due course.
