No. The reason for that is that the earlier figure I gave includes people who are in receipt of pensions already, whereas the figure cited by the Deputy of 2,400 - I will be corrected by an official if I am wrong - will mostly focus on people who are exiting the Civil Service and public service who are about to join the fund. To put it more plainly, the 2,400 figure might be interpreted as new beneficiaries of the fund. They are people who are exiting the public service who are then having their pension rights determined.
