Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions

Role and Functions: Pensions Ombudsman

4:35 pm

Mr. Paul Kenny:

-----and I expect it will come up with a proposal which will determine the way areas are financed in the future.

There are many other bits and pieces we have to do. I mentioned that the employees of my office are civil servants within the service of the State, and the Financial Services Ombudsman's people are public servants. There are technical differences in that regard and we will wait to see what happens with those. There are many logistical issues to be worked out. The person who looks after the computer operation in the Financial Services Ombudsman's bureau will talk to our people this afternoon and examine our case management system. He knows all about the case management systems they have, and we will see how compatible they are or whether it will be necessary to run them side-by-side for a period before we can achieve a single recording system.
