Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions

Role and Functions: Pensions Ombudsman

5:05 pm

Mr. Paul Kenny:

The British Pensions Ombudsman has not been taken to court very often, to my knowledge. He is the only ombudsman there who, like me, has jurisdiction over public service and private sector bodies. As in Ireland, the British Financial Ombudsman deals solely in the private sector. I am sure public service bodies have been involved in appeals in Britain but I am not familiar with such cases.
