A Public Consultation Process on retired workers access to industrial relations mechanisms for pension related issues was recently conducted by my Department and concluded a number of weeks ago.
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 have commenced the examination of submissions received. The outcome of the consultation will feed into the Government’s response to the proposals.
