I propose to take Questions Nos. 340 to 342, inclusive, and 360 together.

Article 78 of the Local Government (Superannuation) (Consolidation) Scheme 1998 / 2007 deals with the pension entitlements of city and county managers. My Department has examined the new pension terms for secretaries general to assess how they apply to city and county managers. The implementation of new pension terms will require legislation. The precise detail of this is currently being examined.

Seven city and county managers retired at the end of their tenure of office between 1 January 2010 and 29 February 2012. The information requested in this regard is outlined in table 1. The information requested in respect of retirements from January 2000 to February 2012 is set out in table 2.
