128 Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Finance if he has sought or received advice as to the constitutionality of the introduction of an average 4% cut in public sector pensions, for those already in receipt of a pension or who retire before the end of the grace period, on the basis that it may involve the retrospective and unilateral amendment of an employment contract whereby public servants make a contribution to their pension through superannuation over the course of their working lives in the expectation of a given income in retirement; if he is satisfied that this reduction in pensions does not violate the Croke Park Agreement; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
