Rural Social Scheme supervisors must be included in the new pension arrangement that was reached between the Government and the Community Employment supervisors.
This is the view of Independent Galway East TD, Sean Canney, who is calling on the Government to extend the pension scheme so it also includes RSS supervisors.
“RSS supervisors carry out the same type of work and are a valued component in the management and delivery of so much valuable work in our communities,” he said.
Dep Canney said he will be raising the issue with the Minister for Social Protection, Heather Humphreys, on the resumption of the new Dáil session.
