Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 November 2016
360. Deputy Jim Daly asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of applications that have been refused for injury warrants under the Superannuation Acts since 1995 within his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35990/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraWhile the award of injury warrants under the Superannuation Acts is ultimately decided by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform and the cost is a charge on the Superannuation Vote, the process is always initiated in the officer's parent Department; accordingly the records with respect to rejected claims are maintained by each individual Department.
Department records indicate that in the period since the Department was established, no officer whose parent department is the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform has applied for an Injury Warrant and had that application rejected.
