The information sought by the Deputy is set out in the Tabular Statement. The figures for post-primary teachers do not include VEC teachers where the retirements and pension benefit awards are made by the relevant VEC. The bulk of teachers retirements occur at the end of August each year. The figures for 2009 contained in the Tabular Statement relate to retirements up to 30 June 2009 only and are therefore not reflective of the likely out-turn for the year as a whole.
