I am informed by the National Shared Services Office which has responsibility for the payment of arrears in this case that.
Due to Data Protection the NSSO cannot comment publically on an individual’s personal pension entitlements. However, it can confirm that a full review of allowances has been completed and the planned schedule for making payments is as follows:
- Post FEMPI retirees Irish Prison Service pensions and allowance increases should be fully implemented by the end of June for the majority of cases.
- Pre FEMPI retirees are also being worked on with the intention that increases will be applied by end of June 2023.
The NSSO is doing everything possible to apply all relevant increases as quickly and effectively as possible.
