Vote 12 - Superannuation and Retired Allowances (Supplementary)
Vote 17 - Public Appointments Service (Supplementary) (9 Dec 2014) Seán Fleming: I will be clear about this. There is a Supplementary Estimate under sub-heading A1. This deals with superannuation allowances, compensation allowances, pensions and children's allowances. There is a requirement under that for an extra €316,000. That is the question I asked about pensions. Under sub-heading A2, there is a Supplementary Estimate required of €808,000. This...

Vote 12 - Superannuation and Retired Allowances (Supplementary)
Vote 17 - Public Appointments Service (Supplementary) (9 Dec 2014) Seán Fleming: We all accept that clear amounts have been calculated but people will ask us for a breakdown of the figures so we need more information. I sought figures and information under the A4 subhead and I stress I do not want to see names. I do not think anyone could suggest that we would ever seek names but I want to see the lump sums of over €100,000. If there were any such lump sums, how...

Vote 12 - Superannuation and Retired Allowances (Supplementary)
Vote 17 - Public Appointments Service (Supplementary) (9 Dec 2014) Seán Fleming: As everyone knows, the mix of people leaving the public service each year differs in terms of age, years of experience and salary grades. Before the Supplementary Estimate is sent back to the Dáil, I ask the Minister to provide details of this mix, specifically in terms of the grades and years of service of the 820 people who retired from the public service last year at a cost of...

Vote 12 - Superannuation and Retired Allowances (Supplementary)
Vote 17 - Public Appointments Service (Supplementary) (9 Dec 2014) Seán Fleming: Is the additional €27 million provided for under this subhead not specifically related to the 250 additional retirements? The logic of the Minister's argument is that he should have pointed out in his opening statement that the Supplementary Estimate is required because 250 more retirements occurred than were provided for and the different mix of ages, grades and experience among this...

Vote 17 - Public Appointments Service (Supplementary) (9 Dec 2014) Seán Fleming: It is not fair to use the phrase "half a wit". Is the Minister referring to members of the public? The public will take his opening statement at face value.

Vote 12 - Superannuation and Retired Allowances (Supplementary)
Vote 17 - Public Appointments Service (Supplementary) (9 Dec 2014) Seán Fleming: Exactly, and if that is the case, why is the figure not broken down? Rather than providing detail, the Minister threw in a figure of 250 additional retirements and stated that the Department was seeking an additional €27 million. My point is that there is more to this issue and the Minister should have provided details.

Vote 17 - Public Appointments Service (Supplementary) (9 Dec 2014) Seán Fleming: I have a few questions to ask about the figures. First, on the details of that big figure - the Minister might tell me if the figures I am putting to him are correct - the Minister said in his opening statement that 820 people had retired in 2013. I am looking at the Estimates figure and the outturn for 2013 was €48 million in that area under Vote A5. Would that be correct? I want...
