1429. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection her views on whether there is an unfairness in the way in which non-public service class D workers are affected by the private pension levy which is still being levied by pension trusts when compared to full civil service workers that have had their pension cuts restored or will see them restored; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1428 and 1429 together.

My Department has no responsibility for matters pertaining to the private pension levy or its effects. Any questions about the private pension levy should be directed to the Minister for Finance.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
