I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that while social welfare pensions can be separately identified from other sources of income in Revenue records, it is not possible to distinguish income of occupational pensions from those of PAYE employments. Consequently there is no complete or reliable basis available to Revenue on which to provide the breakdown sought by the Deputy of the number of persons in receipt of an annual occupational pension.
