Concerns over former regulator’s pension payoff

THE chairman of the Dáil Public Accounts Committee has expressed renewed concerns about the former Financial Regulator’s pension package.

Yesterday, Fine Gael TD Bernard Allen said figures provided by the Department of Finance to his committee were “too vague”.

A written response to questions, on a variety of topics directed at the Department of Finance, was received by Mr Allen yesterday, after which he said: “I will need to seek further clarification in order to understand the figures behind the enhanced pension package.”
