I assume the Deputy is referring to savings with regard to staff retiring, resigning or working shorter hours. A number of staff retired from my Department earlier this year. Also, a number of staff intend availing of the provisions of the shorter working year. Furthermore, my Department is in discussions with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform regarding staffing levels. Given the fluidity of the situation, therefore, it is not possible to say at this point in time what the overall savings in 2012 will be.
