18 Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of former Secretaries General in receipt of public sector pensions while currently employed in a public body and or State agency. [35185/11]
View answerIn response to the Deputy's Question, I have been made aware that 2 former Chairmen of the Revenue Commissioners are in receipt of public sector pensions and hold a position in public body or State agency.
One of these is Commissioner of Valuation in the Valuation Office and he undertakes this position on a pro-bono basis. The other Commissioner is currently the Non-Executive Chairman of the National Assets Management Agency.
In addition, I might also bring to the attention of the Deputy that, while not directly covered by the question, a former Secretary General of the Department is currently serving as a Public Interest Director at Bank of Ireland.
