One Secretary General retired from my Department in the period from January 2008 to date. Mr Sean Gorman Secretary General retired on the 22 October 2011. Mr Gorman was 59 at his date of retirement. Mr Gorman received a gross lump sum in the amount of €380,452.50, a gross severance gratuity in the amount of €126,817.50 and is entitled to receive a gross annual pension of €126,817.50. As Mr Gorman had in excess of 40 years service no added years were due. It is not expected that there will be any further retirements at Secretary General level in the period to March 2012.
