I wish to advise the Deputy that my officials have asked the bodies under the aegis of my Department to respond directly to you on this matter in relation to staff of their own organisations.
I and my officials are committed at all times to the proper use of public funds, and my Department sanctions such packages in line with the relevant circulars and guidelines.
To answer your question with regard to staff of my Department, I can confirm that exit, severance or redundancy packages were not sanctioned for staff other than Ministerial staff and any such arrangement would be in accordance with central guidance from DPER.
