Estimates for Public Services 2020
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-28
============================================================

Seán Sherlock (LAB), Cork East

I wish to raise a number of issues with the Minister. I will ask a question, receive the answer and then follow up with subsequent questions.
The first issue is the fact that as public representatives people are coming to us who are concerned about the wage subsidy scheme and its impact on them as employees in respect of their pension entitlements down the line.
I would like the Minister's assurance that people's statutory pension entitlements will not be affected by the fact that they are being paid under the temporary Covid-19 wage subsidy scheme.
