Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions
Role and Functions: Pensions Ombudsman

Mr. Paul Kenny:
The arrangement we have been able to come to is that our costs will be paid for us, whether they are within budget or not. Any costs we recover - and we have recovered costs in the majority of cases - are paid directly back to the Exchequer. They do not go through our accounts at all; recovered costs are simply paid back by us to the public purse.
