Voluntary redundancy proposals are a matter for management based on the business needs of a particular organisation. Where an organisation wishes to introduce a targeted voluntary redundancy scheme  a business case would be forwarded via the parent Department to my Department for sanction. In the case of a North South Implementation Body, sanction would also be required from the parent Department in Northern Ireland and the Department of Finance and Personnel, Northern Ireland.  Voluntary redundancy schemes in public service bodies must also comply with the collective agreement reached between my Department and the Public Services Committee of ICTU on Redundancy payments to Public Servants.
