Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

My Department does not make pension payments to retired civil servants. All Civil Service pensions are paid directly by the Paymaster General's Office which falls under the aegis of my colleague, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. As such I am not in a position to provide the information requested.
