The Government has revealed a calamitous series of “administrative errors” that will see retired senior civil servants and government ministers asked to pay back tens of thousands of euros for inaccurate pension deductions.
Some 13,000 retired civil servants are set to have their pension deductions checked for potential incorrect payments amid “serious issues” flagged by a State body, with 30 cases identified where the liability ranges as high as €280,000.
