Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 99 of 21 November 2013, if the request for a breakdown of payments indicating the overpayment will be supplied, as the person contends that all payments due were recouped by her Department on each occasion that he or she absented him or herself from employment; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 95 and 96 together.
The person concerned was employed in the Department from January 1990 until his dismissal from the Civil Service in February 2013. Following the termination of his employment, he was informed of his preserved pension entitlements on his reaching 60 years of age.
In relation to the breakdown of overpayments, the person concerned was informed upon his departure that a salary overpayment was outstanding and that this amount would be recouped from his preserved pension entitlement when it falls due, if the balance is still outstanding. Full details of the overpayments have now issued directly to the officer concerned.
