885. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform to outline his plans to review the spouses' and children's pension payment, specifically the mandatory nature of payment into the scheme for all public servants regardless of marital status or whether they have children, in light of the fact that this matter was last reviewed 16 years ago, in 2000, by the Commission on Public Service Pensions.

886. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform to set out his plans to implement a transitional pension such that civil servants who are currently required to retire at 65 years of age but who are not eligible for the state pension until aged 66 years are not left with only a jobseeker's benefit payment for that period.
