There are 8 non-commercial semi-state bodies under the aegis of my Department, listed in the table below. Pension abatement as per Section 52 of the of the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and other Provisions) Act 2012, is a standard feature of the pension schemes applicable to each body listed.

My Department does not directly fund any commercial state bodies, however the Design Crafts Council of Ireland is a subsidiary of Enterprise Ireland (EI) and their scheme is wholly funded by EI. I can also confirm that pension abatement as per the 2012 Act is applied to pensioners from the pension scheme associated with this body.

My Department has no responsibility for a company called Spike Island Development Company.
