I wish to confirm to the Deputy that Dublin Port Company, in line with the provision of Dublin Port Superannuation Scheme 1996, has sought my consent and that of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, to a 2.5% increase in pensions in payment and in deferment under the scheme.

That request for consent is being examined in my Department, with the assistance of NewERA. On completion of that review, I will consider the matter in consultation with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
