The average age of civilian employees attached to military installations is currently 54 years. Data relating to the civilian employee workforce are not maintained in a manner which would facilitate the production of annual age comparisons.

I understand that information in respect of civil servants of the Department of Defence is being provided by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
