250. Deputy Tom Brabazon asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation the grades of former civil servants that are having their pension deductions assessed for possible anomalies and if these former civil servants have or will receive official notification that their pension deductions are subject to such assessment.

View answerThe NSSO review has found that a number of civil service retirees who were both working on a reduced working hours basis and in receipt of pensionable allowances, were potentially underpaid.
While a scoping exercise is underway, the review will not be grade specific and will focus solely on those individuals identified in this cohort of retirees.
The NSSO is committed to ensuring that any arrears outstanding to this cohort when identified and verified will be paid as a matter of priority and will engage directly with these individuals once they have been identified and monies owed confirmed. In these instances individuals will receive, in most cases, small pension increases.
