Written answers

Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources

There is no scheme for targeted redundancies in my Department.

Application under the Cost Neutral Early Retirement Scheme is a matter for individual staff members. My Department currently has no applications under this scheme and it is not possible to predict the extent of any future applications.
