Question 411: To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality notwithstanding the Civil Service circular No. 28, if he will provide a list of the current pay of each senior civil servant from higher executive officer to Secretary General in his Department broken down by grade; the pension entitlements of each and any other emoluments they are entitled to receive upon reaching retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26240/11]

I am advised by my officials that to provide the Deputy with the information requested in the form she has sought would require a detailed examination of almost 900 files of staff in general service and equivalent grades in my Department. In addition, to provide a breakdown of the pension entitlements of each staff member would require personalised pension entitlement statements to be prepared which would have to make certain assumptions as to the date of retirement, length of service and grade or salary point at which staff will retire. The compilation of this information would require a disproportionate use of available resources. Full details of the pay scales currently applicable in the Civil Service are set out in Circular 28/2009 with which the Deputy is familiar.
