I refer the Deputy to my answer to Question No. 193 of 13 November 2018.

The Deputy's attention is drawn to an amendment to the Bill proposed by Deputy Barry Cowen which was accepted at Committee Stage on 11 December. The effect of the amendment is require a report to be prepared within 3 months of the passing of the Bill which looks at the group of public servants who reached the age of 65 between 6 December 2017 and the commencement of the Bill and on potential remedies to assist that cohort of worker.
