Amharc ar fhreagraBased on available non-personal data (2013) sets, making reasonable projections as to retirement and mortality rates, and incorporating the Public Service Pension Reduction amelioration provided by the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest 2015 Act in the cost, the estimated number of public service pensions in payment and cost per incremental bands of €5,000 is detailed in the Table below. Current data sets are being updated in line with EU requirements to provide an estimate of the accrued public service pension liability at 31 December 2015.
