Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 51, 52, 53 and 54 together.

The NSSO’s review of Pension and ASC contributions identified 82 individuals impacted, with 61 cases closed to date, having been paid in full, in an agreed payment plan or refunds processed where applicable.

The matters identified in the NSSO review related to Pension and/or Additional Superannuation Contributions and as standard in cases such as these, the NSSO and/or the employer works with the individual to resolve the under-deduction on a case-by-case basis.

The NSSO continues to correspond with those remaining to agree a payment plan to recoup the remaining €71,878, and continues to prioritise this matter.

Question No. 52 answered with Question No. 51.
Question No. 53 answered with Question No. 51.
Question No. 54 answered with Question No. 51.
