I am not familiar with the details of any of the individual pension cases the Deputy raises and, in any case, I do not have a role in adjudicating on such matters. If the individuals in question were employed by section 38 organisations, they would not be Health Service Executive or departmental employees but employees of another body. To the extent that there is any policy direction to the HSE, it is that individuals who are legally entitled to payments should be paid.
