Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 September 2011
475 Deputy Anne Ferris asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs notwithstanding the Civil Service circular No. 28, if she will provide a list of the current pay of each senior civil servant from higher executive officer to Secretary General in her Department broken down by grade; the pension entitlements of each and any other emoluments they are entitled to receive upon reaching retirement; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26231/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraThere are two salary scales for Civil Servants depending on their date of recruitment. These are often referred to as non Personal Pensions Contribution 1995 and Personal Pension Contribution 1995 scales. The difference is to compensate for the personal contributions made towards their pensions. This affects Civil Servants recruitment after April 1995. The following table shows numbers serving in each grade from HEO upwards in my Department at end August 2011. While the table shows minimum and maximum of each scale the exact salary scales for each grade is publically available on the internet at www.personnelcode.gov.ie.
All of these officers are members of the relevant superannuation scheme. Entitlements under these schemes are complex and depend on a number of factors such as date of recruitment, level of reckonable service and reason for retirement.
The exact details of each scheme are too complex to set out here, but are also publically available on the Civil Service Pensions website at www.cspensions.gov.ie.
In addition, certain severance provisions apply to Secretary Generals depending on their date of appointment.
