Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

There have been no applications for reinstatement, following retirement on grounds of ill health, granted since 2004 in my Department. Circular 22 of 2007: Ill-Health Retirement from the Civil Service sets out the procedures and legislation under which such retirements may occur.
