Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 December 2016
314. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Social Protection the number of meetings his staff have held in each of the years 2013 to 2016 with staff of the Revenue Commissioners specifically to discuss the issue of non-disclosure of foreign pensions here. [39776/16]
View answerMy Department and the Revenue Commissioners have an ongoing relationship around the provision of services to the public and to secure the respective welfare and revenue systems against fraud. Arrangements between the two bodies, including the exchange of customer information and joint anti-fraud operations, are overseen by a High Level Group of officials drawn from both organisations which meets on average 4-5 times per year.
There have been no discussions on the issue of the non-disclosure of foreign pensions.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
