The Government has decided to introduce a target ed Voluntary Redundancy (VR) Scheme in parts of the Public Service. Details of how such a scheme would operate in particular sectors have not yet been finalised . As outlined in the Action Programme for Effective Local Government: Putting People First, the potential to reach the optimum staffing levels through the use of voluntary exit mechanisms is being examined by my Department in consultation with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
