The consultation process on the Retired Workers Access to industrial relations mechanisms for pension related issues which was conducted by my Department has concluded in recent days.

The purpose of this was to seek views on the proposals arising from the Private Members Bill and to establish whether there is the potential for new or enhanced methods of consultation through the introduction of alternative systems, networks or for a which might assist retired workers in engaging more fully on pension related issues.

My Department officials will commence the examination of submissions received shortly and when this examination is completed, we will then determine the position which will be taken in relation to the matter.
