It is the responsibility of the human resource function of the employing local authority to identify, at recruitment, who is a member of the Single Public Service Pension Scheme, pursuant to Section 10 of the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012.

An employee who is dissatisfied with a decision in this regard should, in the first instance, avail of the internal dispute resolution process within the employing local authority. Thereafter, should the employee remain dissatisfied, s/he may wish to refer the matter to the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman.

My Department is not an appeals body in respect of such decisions by local authorities.
