I have no proposals to discontinue the pension-related deduction in the case of retained firefighters. I did, however, undertake during the Dáil debate on the pension-related deduction to have the case of the retained firefighters examined to see if there are exceptional circumstances with regard to this group of public servants. That examination is in progress.
