Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 October 2011
247 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Social Protection what the saving to the Exchequer would be if all existing public service pension payments to former employees of State agencies under the aegis of her Department were capped at €35,000 per year. [29786/11]
View answerThe savings to the Exchequer arising from the capping at €35,000 per annum of those pension payments which are funded by my Department and made to former employees of the Citizen's Information Board would be €20,044 in 2011. The pensions of staff who retire from the two other agencies of my Department (the Pensions Board and the Office of the Pensions Ombudsman) are not funded through the Vote of my Department and, accordingly, the information requested is not available in my Department.
