Article 78 of the Local Government (Superannuation) (Consolidation) Scheme 1998 deals with the pension entitlements of city and county managers. A manager may be entitled to added years of up to a maximum of 10 years based on length of service. Pension entitlements for managers are based on their final salary and length of service, including added years where appropriate, capped at 40 years.
My Department has examined, in consultation with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, the new pension terms for Secretaries General to assess how they will be applied to City and County Managers. The required legislative changes will be made in the coming weeks.
Details of added years for managers who retired between January 2000 and March 2012 are set out in the table:
