Tánaiste and Minister for Defence

The only State body currently under the aegis of my Department is the Army Pensions Board which is an independent statutory body, established under the Army Pensions Act 1927. The secretary to the Board is provided from my Department’s staff.

I can confirm there has been no exit, severance or redundancy packages of €200,000 and above granted by my Department in any of the years from 2019 to date.
