Single Public Service Pension Scheme

[leinster]

If a public servant gets a promotion (pre 2013 staff) are they subject to the new
pension scheme which was introduced in 2013?

Unless there is a gap in service of more than 26 weeks before you take up the new post I believe you stay in your existing scheme. See Page 9 in the Booklet :

Thank you for the very informative reply.

So, to put it in perspective, Norin O'Sullivan, who was promoted to Garda Commissioner in 2014 and retired from her position in 2017, will have a pension of 50% of the salary she was on at that time as opposed to the
new pension scheme.

As I believe, a public servant must reside in the new post for 3 years to avail of getting the pension of 50% of the salary.
