Vol. 95 No. 11

Ceisteanna.—Questions. Oral Answers. - Civil Service Retirements.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will state the number of (a) established and (b) unestablished officers of each grade who retired from the Civil Service between the 1st July, 1940, and the 31st December, 1944.

The information requested by the Deputy is not available for the whole of the period between 1st July, 1940, and 31st December, 1944, as figures for the year 1940 were not compiled in consequence of pressure of other work arising out of the emergency and figures for the year 1944 are not yet available. Information in the form of a tabular statement showing the numbers of (a) established and (b) unestablished officers of each grade who retired from the Civil Service between 1st January, 1941, and 31st December, 1943, will be circulated with the official reports. Particulars for the year ended 31st December, 1944, will be supplied to the Deputy at a later date.

Is it proposed to collate the information for 1940?

If the Deputy presses for it, I will get it for him.

If it is not inconvenient. If it is inconvenient, I do not want to press for it.

Very well. Thank you.
