Vol. 505 No. 1
150 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Finance if redundancy packages offered by Dublin Corporation are subject to a ceiling set by his Department; if so; the terms of that ceiling; and the way in which it compares with packages which have been offered to other workers in the public service. [13316/99]
While the terms of redundancy arrangements in the public service are, in general, determined in consultation with my Department, the specific details and management of any redundancy package in Dublin Corporation would be a matter between the corporation and the Minister for the Environment and Local Government. It would be my Department's view, however, that the terms of any redundancy packages offered by Dublin Corporation should be broadly in line with the terms offered in previous general voluntary early retirement situations in the Civil Service and local authorities.
