504. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to the fact that CIÉ superannuated pensions have not increased in eight years; his views on whether this should be addressed; and if so, the way in which and when this deficiency will be addressed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

512. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will ensure the CIÉ Superannuation fund is adequate to cater for pension increases for former CIÉ employees; his views on the fact that these former employees have not received a pension increase since 2008 despite an €18 increase in the rate of State pension in the same period.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 504 and 512 together.
Issues in relation to Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ) pension schemes are primarily a matter for the trustees of the pension schemes, the CIÉ Group and their employees. Therefore, I have referred the Deputies questions to CIÉ for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
