The person concerned is a pensioner in the North/South Pension Scheme, established for the North/South Implementation Bodies and Tourism Ireland Ltd. Waterways Ireland, which is under the aegis of my Department, is a participating employer in the Scheme.

I have been informed that a complaint has been lodged, on behalf of this individual, with the Pensions Ombudsman on the matter to which the Deputy refers. For that reason, it would be inappropriate to comment further pending a determination by the Pensions Ombudsman.
