No civil servant employed in my Department is in receipt of a civil service pension. My Department, however, does not have information on the number of staff who may be in receipt of a State pension. The corresponding information requested by the Deputy in respect of the agencies under my remit is a matter for the agencies themselves as part of their day-to-day activities.
