1008. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 270 of 17 July 2014, if the pension related deduction was improperly applied to a person (details supplied) who is an employee of a college but who has no public service pension entitlement. [22351/15]

In accordance with the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2009 the Pension-Related Deduction (PRD) is applicable to staff of public bodies (including schools) who are entitled to receive a public service pension. The PRD is not applicable to staff of public bodies who are not entitled to receive a public service pension.

Officials from my Department have confirmed with the employer of the person referenced by the Deputy in his question that the PRD is not being applied in this person's case.
