Public Accounts Committee

HEA - Financial Statement 2015

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

That is correct. It is a very old legacy issue. It probably goes back to the origins of the colleges and their association previously with the vocational educational committees, VECs. The pensions for VECs and the colleges used to be paid at local government level. In the past three or four years they have been brought together into the Department and they are administered centrally by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform's pensions section.
