CIÉ has said it has not proposed any changes to the current funding arrangements in place for the pension schemes of staff employed in the State-owned transport group.
Trade unions had warned over the weekend that any unilateral changes to pension arrangements would lead to strikes.
The transport group had invited trade unions to a meeting yesterday with regard to pension issues. However this was postponed to facilitate a separate hearing at the Labour Court aimed at dealing with issues involving train drivers which were at the heart of a recent dispute.
CIÉ said the performance of its two defined-benefit contributory pension schemes was kept under review.
