The Government recently announced a targeted voluntary redundancy package which is initially to be rolled out in three areas including specific parts of the Education Sector. Officials of my Department are currently liaising with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform with a view to finalising arrangements for the roll out of a targeted scheme for the Sector. Accordingly, a scheme is not currently on offer to employees of my Department.
