Vol. 535 No. 4
140 Mr. Wall asked the Minister for Defence his views on the current state of industrial relations and staff morale at the headquarters of the Irish Red Cross Society; if he is satisfied that previous industrial relations problems have been resolved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12963/01]
142 Mr. Wall asked the Minister for Defence if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a senior member of staff of the Irish Red Cross Society will be leaving the organisation at the end of May 2001; if he has been approached with a view to agreeing a severance package for the individual concerned; if his attention has further been drawn to a separate constructive dismissal case recently taken by another former senior employee; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12965/01]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 140 and 142 together.
As I have already indicated, the Irish Red Cross Society is an autonomous body with full powers to manage and administer its affairs through its governing body, the Central Council. I have no function in the administration of the Irish Red Cross and do not get involved in the running of its affairs.
My Department has not been approached regarding a severance package for any staff member.
141 Mr. Wall asked the Minister for Defence if he will give a breakdown of the grant-in-aid of £509,000 to the Irish Red Cross Society in 2001; the total number of staff employed at the headquarters of the society, broken down by each Civil Service grade; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12964/01]
The grant-in-aid allocated to the Irish Red Cross Society for 2001 is £509,000. This allocation is provided for staff salaries and related expenses for 14 permanent posts in the society's headquarters and salary and related expenses for a staff member on full-time secondment to the Directorate for Asylum Seekers Services, Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform. A sum of £479,000 is allocated for headquarters staff and £30,000 for refugee support services.
