145 Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of public servants that retired in Waterford city and county since the beginning of the year and the number of those that have been retired by the State. [23005/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe number of teachers who retired from primary and secondary schools in the months of January and February 2012 is 1166. The compulsory retirement age where applicable is generally attained at the end of the school year in which the teacher reaches age 65 years. Accordingly, no compulsory retirements are included in this figure. Information is not available on a regional basis. The Pension Unit of my Department is currently compiling detailed statistical data on teacher retirements for the months of January and February 2012. This information will be published on my Department's website.
