Written answers

Permanent staff employed in my Department are either in the established pension scheme, the non-established scheme or the single pension scheme for civil servants. These schemes are not in deficit and there are no plans to consolidate them.

Ten bodies operating under the aegis of my Department have a defined benefit pension scheme. None of these schemes is in deficit and there are no plans to consolidate them. Staff employed in the North/South bodies under the aegis of my Department are in the North/South Pension Scheme.
