The numbers of staff in my Department, its agencies and bodies under its aegis who have applied for the incentivised early retirement scheme and the incentivised career break scheme are set out in the following table. It should be noted that while the closing date for the incentivised career break scheme has passed, the closing date for the incentivised early retirement scheme is 1 September 2009.

An Garda Síochána (Civilians)929
Legal Aid Board119

With the possible exception of a limited number of civilian employees of An Garda Síochána, in respect of which I will furnish the information required to the Deputy separately, I understand that no staff of my Department, or any of the other bodies listed above under its aegis, qualified for redundancy payments under the Redundancy Payments Act 2003 as a result of ceasing employment within the last 12 months.
