Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Deputy Brendan Smith)

My Department does not have detailed records in all cases of the previous employment history outside the civil service of staff members and therefore details of pension entitlements of staff currently employed in my Department as a result of previous employment in the public sector are not available.
