Transferring of Superannuation/Pension Rights

Members of the Primary Teachers’ and Secondary Teachers’ Superannuation Schemes are approved for participation in the Civil Service Pension Schemes and the Local Government Transfer scheme. This provides for the reckoning by each participating organisation, of earlier pensionable service with any other organisation in the transfer network. Under its provision there is a link-up between the Civil Service, the Garda Siochana, the Defence Forces, National and Secondary Teachers and over 110 participating bodies, the vast majority of which are in the public sector.
