Deputy Shortall is due severance payments totalling €6,526.95 for year of assessment 2012. Deputy Shortall has kindly indicated that she is gifting this payment to the Minister for Finance. The Deputy may wish to note that in the context of Budget 2013 I announced that legislation will be brought in to abolish these severance payments in the future.
