Question 39: To ask the Minister for Finance the amount that will be contributed by civil and public servants to public funds both through deduction in pay by way of pension contribution under the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (No. 2) Act 2009 for the year 2010 and also by way of PRSI and, where relevant, other pension contribution schemes; the amount expected to be paid out by way of pension to retired civil and public servants in relation to the same category of former employees; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The estimated amounts for receipts and expenditure in respect of civil and public servants in 2010 for the categories requested by the Deputy are set out in the table below, with the exception of PRSI receipts which are a matter for the Minister for Social Protection.
The Deputy referred to the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (No. 2) Act 2009 in the context of "deductions in pay by way of pension contributions". I assume the Deputy is referring to the Pension Related Deduction (PRD) which was provided for in the first Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2009. I have therefore given the 2010 estimate for PRD receipts in the table below.
Civil Servants2010 estimate(€ million) | Public Servants2010 estimate(€ million) | Total2010 estimate(€ million) | |
Pension-related deduction from Civil and Public Servants | 103 | 872 | 975 |
Pension contributions by Civil and Public Servants | 46 | 709 | 755 |
Pension payments to Civil and Public Servants | 477 | 2,903 | 3,380 |
