Vol. 497 No. 5
93 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Defence if a person (details supplied) in County Sligo will be approved for the voluntary early retirement scheme; if a favourable decision will be made in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25514/98]
The individual in question was one of a large number of personnel eligible to apply for consideration for the 1998 voluntary early retirement scheme.
The application of the individual in question was considered by the Voluntary Early Retirement Board but unfortunately it was not successful. Owing to the large number of applicants for the 1998 voluntary early retirement scheme it was regrettably not possible to make an offer to all applicants.
