Ulster Bank Pension -U.K. pension law or Irish law?

[SlurrySlump]

My wife worked for a period of time for the Ulster Bank in the Republic of Ireland. She is trying to get information on her Ulster Bank Pension and has written to the people who deal with this who are based in the U.K. The Ulster Bank is owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland. They are quoting U.K. Pension Law in their response to her. My question is...is her pension based on U.K. Pension law or on Irish Pension law. Does the fact that her employer is UK based have any bearing?

If the pension scheme is an Irish scheme, i.e. if there is a separate scheme for Irish employees, then it is Irish pensions law. If it is a UK scheme, then whether it is Irish or UK law depends on what the issue is. Have her ask the HR department.
