It is understood the Report, to which the Deputy refers, was carried out on behalf of the Board of the Irish National Stud Company Ltd. to investigate an internal human resource issue which arose within the Company. Human resource issues arising at the Irish National Stud are a matter for the Board of the Company. The Report to which the Deputy refers was not provided to my Department.

Question 230: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food his views regarding the early retirement of a person (details supplied) from an organisation under his Department's remit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7408/10]

It is my understanding that the matter into which the Deputy enquires involved the resignation and not the early retirement of an employee from an organisation. Furthermore I understand that this resignation was dealt with in accordance with the terms and conditions of the employee's contract of employment. Such internal HR issues are operational matters for the company and as such are for the Board of the relevant organisation to address.
