PQ 266
266. Deputy Paul Lawless asked the Minister for Transport the reason the agreed pension increases for retired CIÉ pensioners have not yet been paid, given that Ministerial approval for the revised pension arrangements was reportedly granted in June 2026; whether the payment of these increases is contingent on the signing of the required Statutory Instrument; if so, the specific legal basis for this requirement; and the reason 2,000 pensioners continue to be denied the agreed increase pending completion of the Statutory Instrument process.
