2-RTÉ-executives-attempted-raid-on-RTÉ-Superannuation-pension-scheme- Pension increase request
As you are aware, the Trustees made a pension increase request for 2.5% backdated to Jan ’22 to the Government – but this has not yet been signed off. We have contacted the Minister Paschal Donohoe’s office about this. http://www.rtersa.ie/uncategorized/letter-to-paschal-donohue-re-pension-increase-delay/
(NB -correction to letter, Para 1 – the submission for the pension increase by the RTÉ Superannuation Scheme (RTÉSA) was made in September 2022, not April 2022. The actuarial report that recommended the increase was submitted to the government in April 2022).
We received a reply on 23/06/23 –
