I propose to take Questions Nos. 392 and 393 together.

All civil service pensions are paid by the Paymaster General’s Office and the Minister for Public Expenditure is providing these details. The parallel information in respect of State Bodies under the aegis of my Department is a matter for the bodies themselves.

My Department is responsible for the payment of pensions to a number of former employees of bodies under the aegis of the Department which are no longer in operation. The information in respect of these pensions is set out in the Appendix below.

APPENDIX

Number in receipt of payment in each tax year 2008 -2014 inclusive
