I propose to take Questions Nos. 648 and 650 together.

The Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport was established on 9th March 2011. The amount of revenue that could have been raised between the date my Department was established and 30th June 2011 if the rates outlined by the Deputy were applied to lump sum payments on retirement was €32,158.

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.

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