No officers on career break from my Department lost their right to return to their old positions and hence the responses to the remaining questions are nil.

I am advised by the NTMA and the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General that their responses are also nil.

I am advised by the Office of the Revenue Commissioners of the following:

1.118 Revenue staff were on career break on 1 July 2013.  Two lost their right to return to their old position.

2.Two of the staff on career break on 1 July 2013 were placed on the Public Service Resource Panel.

3.One employee placed on the Resource Panel was required to return to a different Revenue location than the one from which they took a career break. This was within 45 km of the previous assignment and is within Revenue.

4.12 of the 118 staff who were on career break on 1 July 2013 have since terminated their employment.

5.No staff were accommodated with a return from career break to a supernumerary post.

Please note that the list of offices and bodies under the aegis of my Department are currently being reviewed.
