539 Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will outline on a yearly basis from 2008 to 2015 in respect of staff leaving the public service in his Department; the cost of lump sums; the cost of severance payments; the cost of pensions of those leaving the service through retirement or other means; the loss of the pension levy from employees who have left; the loss of superannuation payments from retired or departed employees, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality (Deputy Alan Shatter)

In general the costs associated with staff leaving my Department, including any retirement lump sum and ongoing pension payments are incurred from Vote 7 Superannuation and Retired Allowances of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. As a result the information sought would not be available directly from my Department.
