With regard to the staff of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the calculation and payment of superannuation benefits is a matter for the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. Staff of the former Agency for Personal Service Overseas (APSO) were integrated into the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in 2003. Two former APSO staff and a spouse of a deceased APSO staff member are in receipt of public sector pensions paid by my Department. The requested information in respect of those pensions is set out in the table below.
Number | Age Profile | Annual Pension (range) |
---|---|---|
1 | Over 60 | €19,001 – €20,000 |
1 | Over 60 | €5,001 - €6,000 |
1 | Unknown | €0 - €2,000 |
