In response to the Deputy's question, the Payroll Shared Service Centre processes payroll payments for over 98,000 payees, including retired civil servants.  The primary source for the provision of payslip information is through the Payroll Shared Service Centre online payslip facility.  Payees can access current and historical payslip data through this online facility, which can be accessed through the internet. The hard copy payslip facility was discontinued in 2010  with a number of exceptions; where there is a change in net pension payable of + or - €7.50, the first payslip of the new year and the last payslip in the year are also issued in hard copy. This change was communicated to all pensioners in writing in 2010. In addition all new pensioners in the PSSC are notified in writing of the procedures to register for the online payslip facility, with all queries dealt with through the PSSC Helpdesk.
