Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan)

I am not aware of any public servants who have received a pension lump sum on retirement that are working in public service or semi State bodies that come under the aegis of my Department. For completeness I have been informed by the Revenue Commissioners that they have one recently retired official who is working for them in an advisory capacity on a pro bono basis.
