Question 108: To ask the Minister for Finance if active civil servants who availed of the incentivised scheme for early retirement, ISER, as set out in Department Finance Circular 12/09 and who signed a legal document not to re-enter the labour market and whose PPS numbers were noted in order that they could not breach the ISER contract, are now released from this contractual obligation in view of the unilateral decision by the Government to reduce the pensions income of civil servants by 4% in the recent budget; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Individuals who availed of the Incentivised Scheme of Early Retirement are not de-barred from re-entering the labour market generally; however, they are not eligible for re-employment in the same part of the public service from which they retired. They may take up employment in other areas of the public service, in which case their pension may be abated. I have no plans to change this position.
