Total gross Exchequer expenditure on Public Service pensions in 2013 was €2.815 billion and the estimate for 2014 is €2.872 billion. I refer the Deputy to the Databank on my Department's website, http://databank.per.gov.ie/. Information on this Databank includes details of Public Service staff numbers and pensioners, the corresponding pay and pensions bill for previous years, as well as the estimates for expenditure in 2014.
