Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 January 2014
261. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of persons who have been enrolled to date in the single public service pension scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [55424/13]
View answerThe Single Public Service Pension Scheme was launched on 1 January 2013. It is the default pension scheme for persons commencing employment in the public service from that date onward. The Single Scheme is administered at workplace level in a large number of "relevant authorities", which equate to individual employments or sectors. Because of this dispersed membership, a figure for the total number of members of the Single Scheme across the entire public service is not at present to hand. However my Department plans to conduct a survey of all relevant authorities in respect of the end-2013 Single Scheme outturns, to include the total number of Single Scheme members at the end of 2013.
