The table contains the original pension amounts payable to former Officeholders prior to the application of the Public Service Pension Reduction (PSPR) which reduced pensions in payment with effect from 1st January 2011, together with the current amounts payable from 1st September 2013 following the application of 'aggregation' for PSPR purposes which applies to individuals who have more than one public service pension, as provided for under the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012. 

I understand the information in relation to the Oireachtas pensions of the individuals concerned, which are paid separately, will be provided to you by Houses of the Oireachtas Commission.

I would like to advise that, in certain cases, the pension amounts shown do not reflect the actual amount of pension in payment where an individual is 'gifting' all or part of their pension to the State, or where a pension is subject to certain provisions of the Family Law Acts.  It is the policy of my Department not to release personal information of that nature.
