There is no civil servant currently employed in my Department who is also in receipt of a civil service pension. However, there are seven employees who are in receipt of pensions relating to their previous service in either the Defence Forces or An Garda Síochána. Details of the salary scales of the staff in question are given below in tabular format.
Grade | Salary Scale (per week) | Number in receipt of pension |
Services Officer | €419.73 – €559.59 (non-PPC) | 5 |
Civilian Driver | €667.43 | 2 |
My Department cannot provide information on pension payments to individual officers as this is a matter for the Department of Finance. Personal Pension Contribution (PPC) scales apply where officers were employed since 6 April 1995, pay class A rate of PRSI and make a personal pension contribution.
