I received the report of the Oireachtas joint committee formally on 7 April. At my request, my officials are considering the recommendations contained in the report having due regard to the terms and conditions both of the early retirement scheme and the European Commission regulations under which both the current and previous schemes were introduced and will report to me as soon as possible.
