Social Welfare and Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System (Amendment) Bill 2025: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2025-12-03
============================================================

Eoin Hayes (SD), Dublin Bay South

I thank the Minister. I genuinely welcome the clarity he will bring on the fees in the Cabinet memo next week. I also welcome the work he will be doing in regulating the allocation of funds for employees towards the right products. I would support him in bringing those regulations expeditiously, as reported in the media. I just do not agree that investment managers can be charged with the responsibilities here. This is employees' money. It is a State-mandated fund. The board has a responsibility here. I really do think that the Act is not sufficiently clear or explicit in that. I am quite disappointed that the Minister does not agree.
