Retirement lump sums for civil servants are calculated on the basis of 3/80ths of salary per year of service, subject to a maximum of 11⁄2 times the salary on which superannuation benefits are based. Since January 2005 one Secretary General and one Assistant Secretary has retired from my Department. A total of €568,129 was paid in retirement lump sums including a severance gratuity. The retirement lump sum in each case was 150% of the salary on which the superannuation benefits were based.
