My Department is responsible for the payment of pensions under the Competition Authority (Chairman and Members') Superannuation Scheme, 1996 and the Labour Court (Members) Superannuation Scheme, 1971-2005. Five former members of the Competition Authority are paid an annual pension ranging from €7,384.01 to €88,773.00; 12 former members of the Labour Court (including Chairpersons and Deputy Chairpersons) are in receipt of an annual pension ranging from €9,010.02 to €68,104.28; 5 spouses of deceased former Members of the Labour Court are also in receipt of an annual pension ranging from €11,463.98 to €37,678.
Pension payments in relation to the other public bodies under the remit of my Department are a day to day matter for the trustees of the pension schemes in the bodies concerned. I have asked the public bodies concerned to compile the information and I will forward to the Deputy when it is available.
