103 Deputy Dominic Hannigan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the position regarding staff who have moved from southern Departments to the all-island bodies in terms of their pension entitlements; if they are a part of the North-South pension scheme and if their years of service have been transferred to that scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31496/11]
View answerMy Department does not have direct responsibility for the all island bodies established under the British Irish Agreement.
