Third level institutes are responsible for the administration of the pension schemes under their remit and will be aware of their responsibility to operate in accordance with the provisions of the relevant pension schemes. I respect the autonomy of the third level institutions and their responsibility to operate in compliance with regulations.

I understand that officials are engaging with the Higher Education Institution in question and will continue to work through the matter. The outcome of this engagement will be communicated to the individual by the Higher Education Institution in due course.
