I can confirm to the Deputy that the only exit packages agreed by my Department under the terms of severance / redundancy schemes since 2016 were paid to Ministerial Personal Staff whose appointments were co-terminous with the relevant Minister / Minister of State. The calculation of severance payments to Ministerial Personal Staff were made in accordance with guidance issued by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. Redundancy payments were calculated in accordance with statutory redundancy arrangements. The relevant payments were issued to 5 Ministerial Personal Staff in 2020.
