The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the attached table, which shows payments made from my Department's staff payroll system to retired public servants during 2012, which is the latest period for which payment information is available. My Department additionally maintains details of retired Civil Servants re-engaged, usually on a short-term basis, to carry out specific tasks that require their particular experience and expertise. As appropriate, such engagements are subject to the abatement principle, whereby the fees payable are set at a level that ensure that the individual's pensions plus fees do not exceed the salary level of their positions to retirement. This information is compiled retrospectively on an annual basis. The information for 2012 is not yet available but the attached table includes details in respect of 2011 payments made to individuals from various subheads on my Department's Vote.
