1In 2011 twenty-one officials at my Department retired. The cost of superannuation lump sum payments amounted to approximately €1.3m. The estimated cost of pension for those concerned in 2012 will be in the region of €378,000. Figures for bodies under the aegis of my Department are not readily available and officials are compiling the information and it will be forwarded to the Deputy in the near future.
