In the case of Mr. John Hurley, he moved from the position of Secretary General to the governorship of the Central Bank. His pension, which is paid by the Central Bank, is based on his position at retirement and his entitlement from his service in the Civil Service would have transferred to the Central Bank under the pension transfer arrangements applying in the public sector. He is not in receipt of a pension based on his position as Secretary General.
In the case of Mr. Kevin Cardiff, as he moved to a position in an international body viz the EU Court of Auditors, he is not currently in receipt of a pension and no enhanced superannuation terms will apply when he becomes entitled to a preserved pension at age 60.
