Written answers

Minister for Defence

As regards retired members of the Permanent Defence Force whose pensions are paid by the Department of Defence, the relevant detailed information sought is not readily available and is being compiled at present. The information will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible. The requested information in respect of retired civil servants of the Department of Defence or retired civilian employees formerly employed with the PDF is a matter for the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
