In general the costs associated with staff leaving my Department, including any retirement lump sum and ongoing pension payments are incurred from Vote 12 (formerly Vote 7) Superannuation and Retired Allowances of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. Budgetary provision has also been made centrally within the same Vote for retirements in 2012. As a result, the information sought is not available directly from my Department.
