At the 31st, December 2011 one retired Assistant Principal Officer, two retired Principal Officers and eleven retired school inspectors were engaged by my Department to assist the Department in certain functions. In addition to this one retired Assistant Secretary was appointed to the board of FÁS. Where appropriate, pension abatement was applied. The tabular statement gives details of the officials concerned, their grade at retirement and the remuneration they received in 2011.

One retired school inspector has been appointed to the holding company and another appointed to the board of directors of the Middletown Centre for Autism which is a body jointly funded by my Department and the Department of Education in Northern Ireland. The holding company meets once a year while the Board of Directors is expected to meet 8 to 10 times a year. A daily rate for attendance of £160 (sterling) will apply. No payments were made in 2011.

At this juncture 39 officials at my Department have applied to retire on or before the 29th, February 2012. There are currently no plans to re-engage any of these officials.
