The Deputy will appreciate that I am unable to comment or intervene on issues relating to a particular pension scheme.
My Department has no role in setting the level of pension increases received by members of occupational pension schemes. Pension increases are entirely a matter for the scheme trustees and relevant sponsoring employer. Matters directly related to the semi-state company referred to by the Deputy come under the remit of the Minister for Environment, Climate and Communications.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
