111. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Defence the number of applications for reinstatement, following retirement on grounds of ill health, with prior notice granted since 2004; the legislation, rules and procedures under which they were granted; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44555/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department received two applications for re-instatement, following retirement on grounds of ill-health, with prior notice, since 2004.
The applicants were placed on a Central Resource Panel for redeployment to another Department/Office as my Department had no suitable vacancies at the grades concerned.
The applications for re-instatement were granted in line with Para. 11.4 of Superannuation Handbook and Guidance Notes – Established Civil Service Scheme.
One of the applicants has been redeployed to fill a vacant position at the relevant grade in another Department. The second applicant remains on the Central Resource Panel as no suitable vacancy at the applicant’s grade has arisen to date.
