In response to the Deputy's Question, I have been made aware that 2 former Chairmen of the Revenue Commissioners are in receipt of public sector pensions and hold a position in public body or State agency.

One of these is Commissioner of Valuation in the Valuation Office and he undertakes this position on a pro-bono basis. The other Commissioner is currently the Non- Executive Chairman of the National Assets Management Agency.

In addition, I might also bring to the attention of the Deputy that, while not directly covered by the question, a former Secretary General of the Department is currently serving as a Public Interest Director at Bank of Ireland.
