Taking account of the impact of the Public Service Pension Reduction under the provisions of the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (FEMPI) Acts, there are currently twenty Permanent Defence Force (PDF) pensioners whose gross pensions before tax and USC are in excess of €60,000 a year.
The requested information in respect of retired civil servants of the Department of Defence or retired civilian employees formerly employed with the PDF is a matter for the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
