I can assure the Deputy that there will be no change to the existing pension entitlements of staff transferring to the Qualifications and Quality Assurance Authority of Ireland (QQAAI) from one of the dissolved bodies, as a result of their transfer to the new body. The continuation of existing superannuation entitlements for staff transferring to the QQAAI from one of the dissolved bodies (the NQAI, HETAC, and FETAC) is specifically provided for in Section 22 (subsections 8, 9 and 10) of the Qualifications and Quality Assurance (Education and Training) Bill 2011.
