Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Brendan Howlin)

The Revenue Commisioners have provided me with the information in Tables 1 and 2 in response to the Deputy's question. Officials from my Department, the Revenue Commissioners and the Department of Finance are in discussions on how to address critical skills losses that will arise due to these retirements.
