Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and other Provisions) Bill 2011
Public bill · Government · Presented
Creates a single pension scheme for people newly joining most parts of Ireland’s public service, replacing the various existing arrangements for future entrants. It sets contribution rates, retirement ages and pension benefits, including special rules for judges, politicians, officeholders, Gardaí, defence personnel, prison officers and firefighters, while allowing pensions to rise with inflation and providing benefits for spouses, civil partners and children. It also reduces or resets pay for certain newly appointed judges and officeholders, cuts Ministers’ pay, and clarifies pension reductions and limits for public servants who return to public employment.
