On the 9th of November 2011, Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams TD received an answer to a parliamentary question, which detailed the amount of pensions paid to former ministers. The figures were provided by the Office of Paymaster General in respect of Ministerial pensions and from the Houses of the Oireachtas Service in respect of TD pensions.
