The Labour Court recommended an immediate review of the pension scheme for dockers at Galway port, which provided a fixed £45 a week. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union said the scheme had not been reviewed since 1988 and should keep pace with inflation. Galway Docks-Dry Goods Employers opposed an improvement, citing the scheme’s joint funding and port costs. The recommendation was dated 18 March 1998.
