The Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012 provides for the establishment of a Single Public Service Pension Scheme (SPSPS). The Act clearly specifies who may be members of the SPSPS and based on these provisions current members of the CRC Plan are ineligible for membership.
The CRC has been requested to consult with the HSE to develop a business case in relation to the employees concerned.
