The pension application referred to by the Deputy is one of many being processed by officials in the Pension Unit of my Department. As the Deputy will appreciate, all applications to the Pension Unit are addressed in priority order with greatest priority given to first time applicants for retirement. As the person to whom the Deputy refers is already in receipt of pension payment and the application is for a revision of pension due to additional teaching service having been accrued since his original retirement, the application is assigned a lower priority. Officials in the Pension Unit of my Department will shortly be in contact with the person in order to progress the application.
