Pensions in payment (and deferment) normally increases in line with general public sector salary inflation.
The valuation used for FRS17 (Revised) disclosures has been based on a full actuarial valuation completed in May 2010 by a qualified independent actuary taking account of the requirement of the FRS in order to assess the scheme liabilities at 31st December 2009. 24 25

c. Maoiniú Iarchurtha le haghaidh Pinsean Aithníonn an Bord na suimeanna seo mar shócmhainn gurb ionann í agus an dliteanas iarchurtha neamh-mhaoinithe i dtaca le pinsin bunaithe ar an réimse bonn tuisceana a bhfuil cur síos deanta orthu thuas agus ar líon áirithe ócáidí a tharla cheana.
