Whoever you’re pension is with
What Gilgamboa said. Mine is with a crowd called Willis Tower Watson. You fill out a HR deduction form and its all done via payroll at source. You do nothing then. Just a tick the box exercise. If you dont have an employer contributed pension scheme and are your own boss Zurich and Irish Life are decent to deal with apparently.

Not just private sector it seems
The Department of Justice did not respond to queries on whether the competition will be reopened due to a lack of interest.
At issue for senior gardaí is the Standard Funds Threshold (SFT), which allows high earners to accumulate up to €2 million in a pension before being subject to an effective tax rate of about 72 per cent.
The cut-off point means senior officers may be hit with a tax bill of several hundred thousand euro on retirement, and more if they reach the commissioner or deputy commissioner level
same threshold for the civil service

A tax on the pension income or the accumulated gain on the fund?
