50. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the status of the statutory obligation imposed on An Post under the Postal and Telecommunications Services Act 1983 (details supplied); if he is aware that retired postal workers are now being treated less favourably in terms of their pension entitlements in apparent contravention of the obligation in the Act; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Under section 46 of the Postal and Telecommunications Services Act 1983, the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, with the concurrence of the Minister for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform, approves any superannuation schemes submitted by An Post. The operation of the schemes is a matter between the management of An Post, staff representatives and the trustees of the schemes. I have asked An Post to correspond directly with the Deputy on this matter.
