Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 October 2016
111. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of persons outside the payroll shared service centre, in increments of €5,000, in receipt of lump sums on retirement from the public service; and the corresponding amount of the lump sum in each of the years 2013 to 2015 granted by his Department. [28765/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraData on the number of retirement lump sums and overall amount paid by my Department to school-staff whose pay and pensions are administered directly by my Department are set out for each of the calendar years 2013-2015 in the following tables. The data are held in different value bands to that which the Deputy sought, and is presented in this format. The work involved to present it in the value bands sought could not be undertaken in the timeframe for answer to the question. My Department does not hold this information on bodies under the aegis of the Minister as matters relating to persons employed by these bodies including their retirement and lump sum payments are an administrative matter for the bodies themselves.
