I propose to take Questions Nos. 332, 334, 335 and 346 together.

My Department is collecting data on retirement figures from local authorities on a fortnightly basis at present. Based on the most recent figures, a total of 120 local authority employees have retired in the period 1 January 2012 to 27 January 2012 and a further 739 employees have notified local authorities of their intention to retire in the period 28 January, 2012 to 29 February, 2012. The total figure of 859 represents a significant increase on the previous figure of 755.

A breakdown by local authority of the numbers who have retired or notified their intention to do so is provided in table 1 below. A breakdown by grade of the numbers that have retired is provided in table 2 below.
