My Department was established in June 2007 and has not sanctioned or applied for the payment of a pension top-up or discretionary payment on the retirement of any staff member in this Department. The agencies under the remit of my Department are responsible for day-to-day staffing matters within their own organisations including retirements. Decisions in respect of entitlements on retirement are subject to the specific statutory entitlements applicable under the superannuation schemes of their organisations.
