During 2010 a total of 24 retired public servants were retained by my Department and the agencies under its remit for the purposes outlined by the Deputy, at a cost of approximately €122,000. These figures do not include An Garda Síochána as it was not possible to obtain the details in the time available. I will revert to the Deputy when this information is to hand.
