45.

View answerIn relation to Pension and Additional Superannuation Contribution (ASC) contributions for Ministers, Ministers of State, former Ministers and Office holders, a review into the application of the relevant Pension Schemes and Additional Superannuation Contribution (ASC) rates was carried out by the NSSO in 2025.
The review identified 82 individuals whereby there was an under-deduction or over-deduction of Pension and/or ASC.
The NSSO is fully committed to ensuring that all monies owed to the State are fully recouped, with 83% of the monies owed now paid or in an agreed recoupment plan.
The NSSO continues to correspond with those impacted by this matter who have yet to commit to a recoupment plan with the latest correspondence issued from the NSSO earlier this month.
