212. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 72 of 5 July 2023, and the details supplied in respect of the Commission for Aviation Regulation, if he will seek clarity on the pension figure disclosed (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerFollowing my 5 July reply in relation to PQ 33062/23, information in relation to the Commissioner for Aviation Regulation as requested by the deputy is outlined below.
Pension
The salary and pension increase in 2022 relates to those applied at Assistant Secretary level under National pay deals and the unwinding of Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (FEMPI). The figure in 2023 is pro-rata salary to 30 April 2023 i.e., it reflects 4 month’s pay and pension contributions instead of 12 in the previous year, as the Commission for Aviation Regulation was dissolved on 30/4/2023.
Company Car/Transport allowance
The Commissioner had no company car and can confirm that no car allowance or benefit of any transport was provided during these years.
