The pensions of Prison Officers (and public servants generally) appointed on or after 6 April 1995, are integrated with the State pension.  For such officers the pension consists of: an occupational pension, which takes into account the State pension, and which is currently paid by the Payroll Shared Services Centre, and a State pension payable by the Department of Social Protection.

Where an officer is not entitled to a State pension or qualifies for less than the full State pension, a supplementary occupational pension may be payable, subject to certain criteria.
