Under the terms of the Civil Service Pension Schemes, all retiring Civil Servants are normally entitled to an annual pension and a retirement lump sum based on the final salary and years of service. The pension arrangements, including calculations and payment of same, are a matter for the Department of Finance. The provision of the information requested by the Deputy could lead to the identification of particular individuals as defined within the context of the Data Protection Acts. Accordingly, the amounts granted to staff retiring from my Department under these entitlements in each of the past three years are detailed in the following table.
Year | Number of Staff | Annual Pension Paid at Retirement | Gross Lump Sum Paid at Retirement | Total |
