The Deputy may be aware that there are a number of superannuation schemes applicable to serving civil and public servants. The terms of these schemes, including membership conditions, are provided for under various acts, secondary legislation and administrative measures.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide a definitive answer to the Deputy’s question as it does not specify which specific superannuation scheme it makes reference to.
Should the Deputy wish to submit additional details to the Pension Policy Unit of my Department (pensions@per.gov.ie), a more comprehensive response can be provided. However, should the query relate to an individual’s specific position, the Deputy should in the first instance refer the individual to their local HR unit.
