I have reopened the Early Retirement Scheme until 30 October 2009 with a view to accepting as many as possible of those applications that were completed or close to completion at the time entry to the scheme was suspended on 14 October 2008. Any decision about reopening the scheme again in the future can be taken only in the context of the annual Budget/Estimates process.
