From the question asked, I understand that the Deputy is interested in obtaining information on public sector workers who have retired from either my Department or a body under the aegis of my Department and who has been re-employed to other positions within the public sector. As payment of civil service pensions is a matter for the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, my Department would not have this information unless the person was re-employed directly by my Department. I can confirm that there are no such cases of re-employment at my Department.

Each agency under the remit of my Department is responsible for its own pension payments and I have been advised that there is one person re-engaged following retirement from one of these agencies.
