The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform is providing the data on numbers of retired civil servants from all Government Departments, including my own, in the ranges of pensions, as sought by the Deputy.

Within my Department payment of pensions is administered only in respect of former members of the Labour Court and the Competition Authority under The Labour Court (Members) Superannuation Scheme, and the Competition Authority (Members) Scheme respectively. A breakdown of pensions paid within the bands sought by the Deputy is as follows:

Of the 26 currently in receipt of a pension, 13 are former members of the Labour Court, six are spouses of former members of the Labour Court and seven are former members of the Competition Authority.

I have asked the non-commercial State agencies under the aegis of my Department to respond directly to the Deputy.
