Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 March 2013
348. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Social Protection if she will provide in tabular form a breakdown of the annual saving to the public sector pay bill if non-commercial State agency pay was capped at €100,000. [15969/13]
View answerThe Agencies that operate under the aegis of the Department are the Pensions Board and the Citizens Information Board. The Office of the Pensions Ombudsman also falls under the remit of the Department.
As the Pensions Board is self-funded, the capping of pay would not result in any savings to the Exchequer.
Details in respect of the Citizens Information Board and the Office of the Pensions Ombudsman are as shown in the following table:
