The 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 as may be available in respect of the number of retirees in each year to those individual pension schemes.
I and my Department are responsible for the civil service pension schemes, which cover members of established and unestablished civil service and State Industrial schemes.
The table below shows the number of civil service pensioners in each of the age band categories requested.
