389. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if she will sanction the annual 2% increase for pensioners in the RTÉ superannuation scheme; the role of NewERA in this regard; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40183/23]

I previously considered and approved a 2% increase to pensions in payment for RTÉ in May 2022, which was implemented in August 2022.
The Trustees of the RTÉ Pension scheme subsequently made an application for a 2.5% increase to pensions in payment, backdated to 1stJanuary 2022. This request has been evaluated by NewEra and I am currently considering it.
My recommendation will then need to be reviewed and approved by the Minister for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform.
