Amharc ar fhreagraRetired staff members of my Department and bodies under its aegis are mainly in receipt of pensions from the Superannuation and Retired Allowances Vote (Vote 12) of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
Payments to retired members of An Garda Síochána are made from the Garda Síochána Vote (Vote 20). Pension payments to the dependents of retired members are also made from this vote in certain circumstances.
The total value of pension payments made from the Garda Síochána vote in 2014 was €282,304,023 and the total number of recipients was 10,201 which gave rise to an average pension of €27,674.
