This excerpt taken from the IRE 20-F filed May 29, 2009. Group
Pension Plans
The Group operates a number of pension plans in Ireland and
overseas. The plans are funded and are primarily of the defined
benefit type and the assets of the plans are held in separate
trustee administered funds. Payments to these defined benefit
funds are determined on an actuarial basis, designed to build up
reserves during the working life of fulltime employees to pay
the employees, or their dependants, a pension after retirement.
A formal actuarial valuation is undertaken at least triennially
to determine the payments to each of these defined benefit
funds. At each valuation the funds actuaries assess
whether the liabilities of each fund, based on current salary
levels, are fully funded on a discontinuance basis.
The total pension cost for the Group in respect of the financial
year ended March 31, 2009 was 180 million of
which 139 million related to the main scheme.
