As the Deputy will be aware, my Department was established on 2nd June 2011. The table below sets out the details requested for the period from that date to 25 June 2012.

YearNo of retirementsValue of retirement lump sums
2011 (2.2.11-31.12.11)8€475,432
2012 (1.1.12-25.6.12)24€1,478,446

For completeness, I would also advise that a further €479,155 has been paid in 2012 in respect of the balance of retirement lumps sum payments due to staff who had retired under the former Incentivised Scheme for Early Retirement.
