158. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection her plans to provide access for retired public servants to the industrial relations machinery of the State; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20200/19]

As Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection I do not have responsibility for this matter. Access to the industrial relations machinery of the State is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation. In addition, my colleague, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, has responsibility for public service pay and pensions.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
