Written answers

The person to whom the Deputy refers made an application for retirement on ill-health grounds. The statutory basis for Ill Health Retirement pension benefit for members of the Teachers' Superannuation Schemes in Primary, Secondary, Community and Comprehensive Schools is contained in the Secondary, Community and Comprehensive School Teachers Pension Scheme 2009 and the Primary School Teachers Pension Scheme 2009 as appropriate.

Detailed information in relation to ill health retirement applications is contained in the documentation provided to applicants and is available on my Department's website: www.education.ie. The person to whom the Deputy refers has had their application processed through the system and has recently been notified of the decision.
