There are seven employees in my Department who are in receipt of pensions relating to their previous service in the public sector. Details of the salary scales of the staff in question are given in tabular format.

My Department cannot provide information on the value of pension payments to individual officers as this is a matter for the Department of Finance. Personal Pension Contribution (PPC) scales apply where officers were employed since 6 April 1995, pay the class A rate of PRSI and make a personal pension contribution.
