A transfer into a PRSA is permitted as followes
The scheme rules allowes the transfer providing that the scheme is being wound up or the member is leaving service and pension fund has not been drawn down and the employee has no more than 15 years service or the value of the assets is no more than 10,000.
However in the event of the fund being in excess of 10,000 the member may apply for a "Certificate of Benefit Comparsion" which would compare the benefits of both DB/DC to a PRSA. Also if the transfer value is over 10,000 and is coming from a scheme that is being wound up
the PRSA may accept this providing that the Pension's Board has approved the transfer
