Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 January 2026
514. Deputy Ciarán Ahern asked the Minister for Education and Youth to list the roles within public or semi-State organisations under her Department that are excluded from the single public service pension scheme; the number of people employed in those roles, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3615/26]
View answerThe Department does not hold the information requested by Deputy.
The Single Public Service Pension Scheme was introduced across the public service on 01 January 2013. In general, anyone employed in a pensionable post in the public service for the first time from that date is a member of the Scheme. It may also apply if you were a pensionable public service employee before 01 January 2013 and subsequently broke your public service employment by more than 26 consecutive weeks, unless availing of an approved form of leave.
