As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport in Ireland.

Issues in relation to Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ) pension schemes are primarily a matter for the trustees of the pension schemes, the CIÉ Group and their employees.

The questions raised by the Deputy in relation to the 1951 scheme are operational matters for CIÉ. I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
