I propose to take Questions Nos. 101 to 104, inclusive, together. My Department is responsible for the payment of pensions to retired Civil Servants, the Judiciary and Ministerial and other office holders. Pensions are also paid to their surviving spouses and children. The statistics requested by the Deputy are set out in the following tables and exclude surviving spouses and children as their pensions are not granted as a result of employment. In addition, the figures refer to all relevant pensioners, both married and single, as the payroll database does not distinguish between them.
