Vote 17 - Public Appointments Service (Supplementary) (9 Dec 2014) Brendan Howlin: The bottom line is that the figures refer to the legal entitlement in lump sum payments to all those who retired and were legally entitled to do so during the current year.

Vote 17 - Public Appointments Service (Supplementary) (9 Dec 2014) Brendan Howlin: We have had discussions in respect of pensions and pension entitlements.

If I recall correctly, officials of this House...
