Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

It would not be normal for Departments or agencies to have retirement parties for staff. We do not have guidelines on it but I would think it appropriate to celebrate when a senior leader of an organisation is retiring after a number of years. It is important for the institution in question to recognise the achievements of a leader over a period of time.
