I understand that Unions representing CE Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors have sought the provision of Exchequer funding to implement a Labour Court recommendation relating to the provision of a pension scheme dating back to 2008. In this regard the position has been that it is not possible for the State to provide funding for such a scheme to employees of private companies even if those companies are or were reliant on State funding.
However, this issue has remained under review and that my predecessor held a meeting with SIPTU and IMPACT trade unions in relation to this matter. The Community Sector High Level Forum which represents the various interests has been reconvened in order to examine the matter fully, having regard to costs and precedent.
