There have been no redundancy payments in my Department over the period of the Croke Park agreement. Over the period of the Agreement, a number of staff retired from the Department. Details of the lump sum payments will be forwarded directly to the Deputy. Information in respect of bodies and agencies under the aegis of my Department is a day to day matter for those organisations and my Department does not have the information sought by the Deputy. I will, however, request the relevant Agencies and bodies under the aegis of my Department to respond directly to the Deputy on this matter.
