Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 November 2012
432. Deputy James Bannon asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the exact number of public servants who are back in employment in the public service, who are on pensions and have accepted lump sums; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49088/12]
View answerIn my Department there are two retired public servants employed as Civilian Drivers. In addition there is one re-appointed former Assistant Principal post in my Department which has been sanctioned for the period 25/10/12 – 31/7/13 in connection with Ireland’s Presidency of the EU. The appointments were made on the basis of the relevant salary scales for the posts, with abatement as appropriate of public sector pensions in payment. Staffing of the Agencies under the auspices of my Department, is a day to day matter for the agencies. I have asked the Agencies to respond directly to the Deputy.
