Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 January 2026
724. Deputy Ciarán Ahern asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration to list the roles within public or semi-State organisations under his Department that are excluded from the single public service pension scheme; the number of people employed in those roles, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3622/26]
View answerI am advised that within my Department and the organisations under its aegis for which my Department provides HR services no role is exempted from the Single Public Service Pension Scheme.
With regard to the other agencies under my Department's remit, I am informed that all eligible employees, as per Scheme rules, are included in the Scheme. The Irish Prison Service has advised that a number of people employed on a temporary basis were not members of a pension scheme. All other permanent employees are members of other existing public sector pension schemes.
I am further informed that it has not been possible for An Garda Síochána to provide the information requested in the time provided and I will forward their response directly to the Deputy when it is available.
