If a minister hasn't reimbursed money over their inaccurate pension, they will get no pension

Enterprise minister Peter Burke said if a minister has not started paying the money back, it is because they have queried the calculations

Peter Burke: 'Everyone has the right to ensure that they are paying the correct amount.'

Any Government minister or retired civil servant who does not pay back money they owe to the State will not receive their pension.

Enterprise minister Peter Burke denied that any minister was dodging repaying liabilities after it emerged that tax deductions were not appropriately applied to pension provisions. Ministers’ liabilities ranged between a few hundred euro and the “low €30,000”.
