As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. Issues in relation to CIÉ’s defined pension scheme are matters for CIÉ, their employees and the pension scheme trustees.

I refer the Deputy to my response to Parliamentary Question number 272 answered on 1 February 2018.  

I have not had any discussions with senior management of CIÉ regarding the funding of CIÉ's defined benefit pensions schemes.
