Brendan Howlin

Ceist:

148 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Finance if Oireachtas secretarial assistants who accept the current buy out arrangement and any future VER package will retain entitlement to a pension lump sum on reaching pension age in addition to both components of the package; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21366/05]

The buy out arrangement recently introduced by the Oireachtas commission for certain secretarial assistants has no implications for entitlement to pension lump sums. However, what happens under future VER arrangements will be determined at the time and in the light of the factors then prevailing.
