The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform have advised my Department that the information sought by the Deputy in respect of my Department will be supplied by their Minister to the Deputy. I am only responding on behalf of the Revenue Commissioners. The Revenue Commissioners have provided my Department with the information in the table set out below in response to the Deputy’s question:
Table: Pension Lump Payments* from 1 March 2011 to 31 March 2013
| € | Number Paid |
|---|---|
| 0 to 10,000 | 38 |
| 10,001 to 20,000 | 44 |
| 20,001 to 30,000 | 34 |
| 30,001 to 40,000 | 37 |
| 40,001 to 50,000 | 28 |
| 50,001 to 60,000 | 31 |
| 60,001 to 70,000 | 47 |
| 70,001 to 80,000 | 54 |
| 80,001 to 90,000 | 68 |
| 90,001 to 100,000 | 39 |
| 100,001 to 150,000 | 114 |
| 150,001 to 200,000 | 22 |
| 200,001 to 250,000 | 2 |
| over 250,000 | 1 |
| Total | 559 |
The Revenue Commissioners would like to point out that the above table includes payments in respect of the Incentivised Scheme for Early Retirement (ISER) and preserved pensions, but it does not include death gratuities.
