My Department employs civil servants and also, civilian employees attached to military installations. The Army Pensions Board, which is an independent statutory body established under the Army Pensions Act 1927, is the only body under the aegis of my Department and its secretariat is provided from within my Department's staff.  Of the civil servants and civilian employees employed by my Department, 65 earn less than €12.30 per hour.
