I propose to take Questions Nos. 345 and 346 together.

The following table shows the number of primary, secondary, community and comprehensive school teachers who retired and were awarded pensions, other than on reaching mandatory retirement age, for each of the calendar years 2006 - 2012. The figures for second level teachers do not include pensioned VEC teachers where the retirement awards were made by the relevant VEC.
