The Office of the Paymaster General, which is part of my Department, makes payments of occupational pensions on an agency basis to retirees from the Civil Service and retirees from certain other public service bodies including pensions chargeable to the Central Fund. It is planned to transfer this activity later this year to the new Payroll Shared Service Centre, which is under Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. While there are no plans to implement Eircodes ahead of this move my Department intends to follow guidelines that may be issued in relation to the use of the new Eircode system of post codes in issuing correspondence once the system has been implemented.
