The Pensions Authority

The Pensions Authority supervises occupational pension schemes. Under section 10 of the Pensions Act 1990, the functions of the body then called the Pensions Board include monitoring and supervising the operation of that Act and pensions developments generally, advising the Minister on pensions, and issuing guidelines on the duties of scheme trustees and codes of practice.

The Pensions Act 1990 establishes An Bord Pinsean, the Pensions Board, for that purpose. Section 26 of the Social Welfare and Pensions (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2013 provides that the body shall be known in English as the Pensions Authority, or in Irish as An tÚdarás Pinsean, and that references to the Pensions Board are to be read as references to the Pensions Authority.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
