As the Deputy may be aware, the concept of unestablished civil servants refers to individuals serving in civil service Departments and Offices in a capacity in respect of which a superannuation allowance may not be granted under the Superannuation Acts, 1834 to 1954. Taking that into account, membership of the Pension Scheme for Established Civil Servants does not apply. Instead, the Non-Contributory Pension Scheme for Non-Established State Employees (or ‘unestablished’ pension scheme) usually applies to persons employed in a ‘non-established’ capacity in the civil service.

My Department does not hold information about the number of unestablished staff or their grades, this being a matter for each individual Department.
