Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 October 2014
271. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will provide details regarding a retirement pension and lump sum in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Laois; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39223/14]
View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate, the Pension Unit of my Department is obliged to ensure that priority is given to processing retirement pension benefits for pension scheme members. The next priority is accorded to applications for pension benefit statements from members who express an intention to retire in the current school year and so on, and within each priority rating, applications are addressed in date order. The communication, in September, 2014, from the person to whom the Deputy refers, will be dealt with in accordance with this priority system. The person was informed of the availability of detailed information on the web in the acknowledgement which issued on receipt of the communication.
