Written answers

It is the responsibility of the human resource function of the employing local authority to identify, at recruitment, who is a member of the Single Public Service Pension Scheme, pursuant to Section 10 of the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012.

An employee who is dissatisfied with a decision in this regard should, in the first instance, avail of the internal dispute resolution process within the employing local authority. Thereafter, should the employee remain dissatisfied, s/he may wish to refer the matter to the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman.

My Department is not an appeals body in respect of such decisions by local authorities.

Question No. 82 answered with Question No. 79.
