I propose to take Questions Nos. 302 and 304 together.

These questions relate to the terms and conditions of employment of public and civil servants, which are policy matters for the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.

The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform is providing the data on numbers of retired civil servants in the ranges of pensions, as sought by the Deputy. I have asked the non-commercial State agencies under the aegis of my Department to provide the Deputy with the corresponding relevant data for their organisations.
