Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 September 2011
382 Deputy Noel Grealish asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of employees in his Department who have expressed an interest in retiring ahead of the changes to the public sector pension schemes that are to come into force in 2012; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25788/11]
View answerAs at the current date my Department has received sixteen confirmed notifications of retirement on or before the 29 February 2012 deadline for payment of retirement benefits based on pre-1 January 2010 salary scales. This figure includes three staff who will reach the compulsory retirement age of 65 on or before that date.
Staff in my Department have access to a personal Pension Service Statement (PSS) which facilitates estimation of pension entitlements, without reference to Human Resources Division, by way of the Civil Service Pensions Modeller.
