Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 May 2004
202 Mr. Gogarty asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if building inspectors employed by local authorities are entitled to added years service in the calculation of their retirement pensions in the same way as other grades such as architects. [13161/04]
View answerThe local government superannuation scheme provides for the grant of added years for superannuation purposes to certain professional, technical and specialist grades, subject to specified conditions being met. It is not possible to advise whether building inspectors are entitled to added years under the scheme as their grading and employment status varies between local authorities. Clarification of whether an employee qualifies for added years under the scheme may appropriately be sought from the employing local authority.
