218. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the full administrative costs of administering Exchequer pensions from the 18 votes from which pension expenditure is made, disaggregated by vote in 2018, 2019 and 2020. [59904/21]
View answerThe authorities responsible for the administration of the large number of pension schemes operating in the various sectors of the Irish public service are, in general, the relevant employers and Ministers in those sectors.
It would be a matter for those sectoral authorities, including relevant Ministers, to supply such information.
I and my Department are responsible for the civil service pension schemes, which cover personnel in established and unestablished civil service and State Industrial posts. The National Shared Services Office (NSSO) process pensions on behalf of Vote 12 Superannuation and Retired Allowances. I can only answer in respect of Vote 12 for 2019 and 2020 as the practice of NSSO providing a service cost only commenced in 2019.
In respect of Vote 12, the costs of administering civil service pensions for 2019 and 2020 are as provided in the table below.
