Public Accounts Committee

2012 Annual Report and Appropriation Accounts of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Vote 39 - Health Service Executive
Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration

11:30 am

Mr. John Cregan:

The funding proposal that was made, which included the €3 million payment, included a clause to the effect that one person would be allowed to retire aged 62 years. No early retirement facility was generally available for CRC employees in the CRC plan. That facility was made for the chief executive. A certain cost - not the €3 million - was built into the €3 million to meet that facility being made available to the chief executive.
