An article in last Thursday’s edition, concerning the independent TD Mick Wallace, said that the Pensions Board was investigating the Construction Workers’ Pension Scheme in more than 40 cases.
The Pensions Board actually stated that “it has 192 Construction Workers’ Pension Scheme cases under active investigation” and that so far this year it “has issued summonses in over 40 cases”. The Pension Board, therefore, is not investigating the Construction Workers’ Pension Scheme but rather the employers who have allegedly failed to remit pension contributions.
