Of the eighteen bodies under the aegis of my Department, I have been advised that in eight bodies, there are no pension contributions made by public sector workers including the pension levy in the years requested. These are the Comptroller and Auditor General, the Credit Union Advisory Committee, the Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal, the Financial Services Ombudsman Council, the Irish Financial Services Appeals Tribunal, the Office of the Revenue Commissioners, the Social Finance Foundation and the Tax Appeals Commissioner.
With respect to the Credit Review Office, office staff are seconded from Enterprise Ireland and as this is a body under the aegis of the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, any pension contributions are a matter for that Department.
With respect to the Investor Compensation Company Limited (ICCL), staff are seconded from the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI), processed through the CBI payroll and subject to the CBI pension scheme. In this regard, please refer to Central Bank of Ireland data in the table.
Details of pension contributions made by public sector workers, excluding those in the civil service, including the pension levy, in each of the years requested and to date in 2017 in the remaining bodies are detailed in the table below.

Irish Bank Resolution Corporation | There were four pension schemes in place at the date of the appointment of the Special Liquidators. Three of the schemes were wound up in the weeks following the appointment and the fourth scheme was wound up on 16 March 2016. Following the decision to wind up the remaining scheme effective from 11 March 2016, current IBRC employees were offered the opportunity to make contributions to a Personal Retirement Savings Account (PRSA). The employee contributions since the appointment of the Special Liquidators are as follows: 2013: Employee Contribution €1,747,618 2014: Employee Contribution €801,578 2015: Employee Contribution €428,961 2016: Employee Contribution €136,436 2017: (up to 30 April) Employee Contribution €4,369 Note: The information provided is for the period from 2013 to date.
