Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 May 2012
146 Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Finance the names, grade and cost of staff who have been rehired following retirement in his Department and State agencies under his remit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22889/12]
View answerThe information requested by the Deputy in relation to my Department is detailed in the Appropriation Accounts for the relevant years. The Appropriation Accounts are available online at www.audgen.gov.ie. The 2011 Appropriation Accounts have not yet been finalised by the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General.
In relation to bodies under the aegis of my Department I have received the following information from the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC). Since nationalisation no staff member has been rehired following their retirement from the Bank.
In addition, if a staff member leaves the Bank under a Voluntary Scheme, the exiting employee cannot be employed as an employee or engaged as a contractor or consultant or through a company or agency in any part of IBRC for at least 12 months after their termination date, save in exceptional circumstances and with the prior written approval of the CEO. IBRC can confirm that since nationalisation no staff member has been rehired after having exited the Bank under a Voluntary Redundancy scheme.
I have been informed by the Revenue Commissioners that they have one recently retired official who is working for them in an advisory capacity on a pro bono basis.
