41. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the action he will take to ensure that CIÉ pensioners will receive a cost-of-living increase, as no increase in CIÉ pensions has been approved by the CIÉ board since 2008; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45376/24]

As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. Issues in relation to CIÉ pension schemes are primarily a matter for the trustees of the pension schemes, the CIÉ, Group and their employees.

Accordingly, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to CIÉ for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
