I wish to advise the Deputy that Section 52 of the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012 provides for pension abatement for employees in the public sector ; Section 52(4) provides for the waiver of such abatement at the discretion of the Minister of Public Expenditure & Reform.

I understand that the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform recently issued their decision on an application for a waiver of abatement in relation to the person concerned and advised his employer accordingly.
