I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that a total of 7 staff who were based in their offices located in County Clare retired in February 2012 out of a total of 265.
The Revenue Commissioners are constantly reviewing their processes and procedures, including in County Clare, to ensure that they are delivering their services in the most efficient and effective manner. This is currently being done in the context of the recent retirements and the Government's decision on reducing public sector numbers that included reductions to Revenue's Employment Control Framework numbers for 2012.
