PQ 481
481. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will give consideration to removing the mandatory certificate of benefit comparison requirement for straightforward defined contribution-to-PRSA transfers, where there is an identifiable fund value; in situations where the consumer is receiving appropriate regulated financial advice, including the material benefits being surrendered and the reasons the transfer is considered suitable, given this would remove an unnecessary cost and administrative barrier for ordinary defined contribution pension savers seeking to consolidate their pensions.
