222. Deputy Mick Barry asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the amount spent on an annual basis in public sector pensions to retired State employees; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44677/18]
View answerI have direct responsibility for Vote 12: Superannuation and Retired allowances which reflects the pension costs in respect of retired Civil Service employees only and therefore I can only reply on this basis.
The total audited gross expenditure on Vote 12 in 2017 amounted to €535.5 million.
This includes regular pension payments, lump sum costs, death gratuities etc.
