The summer works scheme is very welcome. It is a great scheme.

Under the heading "Severance/Redundancy", I see 255 non-teaching staff and two primary teachers were paid redundancy sums totalling €2,281,664. What circumstances gave rise to these redundancies? What kind of scheme was it? Was it voluntary or compulsory?
