The statutory bodies operating under the aegis of my Department are the Citizens Information Board, the Pensions Authority, the Pensions Council, the Pensions Ombudsman and the Social Welfare Tribunal.

Neither the Pensions Council nor the Social Welfare Tribunal has employees. The requested information in relation to the pension contributions by public service staff of the Citizens Information Board, Pensions Authority and Pensions Ombudsman is set out in tabular form below.

The public service Pension-Related Deduction (PRD), which is not a pension contribution, is applied to the pay of pensionable public servants, under terms set out in the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2009, as amended. It is sometimes referred to as the “pensions levy”. The tables below also include the requested information in relation to the Pension-Related Deduction.
