Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 February 2012
378 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will provide a detailed breakdown of the number of public sector workers, including gardaí, who have availed of the Croke Park early retirement scheme including their grade and place of employment, that is Garda Station location, in tabular form. [6656/12]
View answerI am taking the Deputy's question to refer to public servants who not having reached their minimum retirement age avail of Cost Neutral Early Retirement (CNER) and who also benefit from the provisions under the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (No. 2) Act 2009. This Act provides for the superannuation benefits of public servants who retire within a ‘grace period' ending on 29th February 2012 to be unaffected by the pay reductions introduced for all public servants with effect from 1 January 2010 under that Act.
Details of all public servants in my Department and the agencies under my remit who have not exceeded minimum retirement age and who, since 1 January 2010, have retired under the CNER Scheme or have indicated their intention to retire under the Scheme before 29th February 2012 are set out in the table below:
