Minister for Finance (Deputy Brian Lenihan)

The information reported to my Department, to date, indicates that some 1,130 civil servants had applied for the Incentivised Scheme for Early Retirement (ISER) and that 954 of these had been approved. The information also indicates that there is an estimated pay saving of some €56 million on a full year basis, although this figure would be offset in part by additional pension and lump sum costs. The more detailed information requested by the Deputy is set out in the tabular form.
