I propose to take Questions Nos. 811 and 812 together.

I enclose the information requested by the Deputy in the table below.

In cases of retirement from my Department, there is no direct cost as the cost of retirement benefit for retired civil servants is met from the Superannuation Vote 7.

Additional costs as they relate to early retirement lump sums are indicated in the attached.
