218. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when pensioners in receipt of semi-State company pensions will receive a cost of living pension increase; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15544/19]

My Department has no role in setting the level of pensions increases received by members of occupational pension schemes, irrespective of whether those schemes operate in the public or private sector. 

In this regard, pension increases for occupational pensions are entirely a matter for the scheme trustees and the sponsoring employer to whom enquiries should be addressed.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
