Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 October 2016
614. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the number of retired public sector employees in her Department, including bodies under its aegis, who are in receipt of a public sector pension that have been re-employed either part-time or full-time, temporary or otherwise by the public sector; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [28975/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am not aware of any retired civil servant from my Department who is in receipt of a civil service pension and has been re-employed in the public sector. Where an employee retires from this Department and is re-employed in another public sector body, it is the responsibility of that body to inform the relevant authority.
I have requested the required information from bodies under the aegis of this Department and my officials will revert as soon as the information becomes available.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A.
I refer to your written parliamentary question (ref: 28975/16 of 4 October 2016) requesting information in respect of the number of retired public sector employees in my Department including bodies under it's aegis who are in receipt of a public sector pension that have been re-employed either part time or full time, temporary or otherwise by the public sector.
As advised in my earlier answer, the information in respect of agencies was being compiled and was not available at that time. I now enclose the information as supplied by agencies under the remit of my Department.
