I propose to take Questions Nos. 127 and 152 together.

As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport in Ireland. 

Issues in relation to Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ) pension schemes are primarily a matter for the trustees of the scheme, the CIÉ Group and their employees. 

In light of the above, I have referred the questions to CIÉ for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
