The Minister for Finance has responsibility for the administration of Civil Service pensions and for pensions paid from the Central Fund. In these categories, to date a voluntary surrender of all or some of their pensions has been made by seven retired persons, comprising civil servants and retired former office holders who are no longer members of the Oireachtas or members of the European Parliament. Responsibility for the administration of other public service pension schemes is a matter for the respective Government Ministers and the relevant State bodies.
