View answer186. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Education and Skills whether a person's service (details supplied) will count toward pension entitlements; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8297/18]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 185 and 186 together.
The person referred to by the Deputy is a former employee of Kildare and Wicklow Education & Training Board(KWETB). Relevant employees of the ETB are members of the Education and Training Board Teachers Superannuation Scheme, or the Education Sector Superannuation Scheme, both of which are statutory pension schemes administered by each ETB on behalf of its members. Queries regarding employee pension benefits for these members are dealt with by the relevant ETB which in this case is KWETB.
Officials in my Department contacted KWETB regarding the person concerned and I understand work is underway to address the queries raised, and they will respond directly to the person concerned.
