614. To ask the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the number of retired public sector employees in her Department, including bodies under its aegis, who are in receipt of a public sector pension that have been re-employed either part-time or full-time, temporary or otherwise by the public sector; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I am not aware of any retired civil servant from my Department who is in receipt of a civil service pension and has been re-employed in the public sector. Where an employee retires from this Department and is re-employed in another public sector body, it is the responsibility of that body to inform the relevant authority.

I have requested the required information from bodies under the aegis of this Department and my officials will revert as soon as the information becomes available.
