Public service voluntary redundancy
Michael McGrath asks when details of the new targeted voluntary redundancy scheme will be available. Ruairí Quinn says Cabinet has considered it and work is being accelerated, but gives no date.
The Government has decided to introduce a new targeted voluntary redundancy scheme in the public service. When will details of the scheme be made available in respect of the numbers involved, the savings involved and when it will be operational?
Comment on this
The matter was brought before Cabinet on Tuesday. The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform has identified a number of sectors where there is a need for a voluntary early requirement scheme. In order to get the benefit from it and to provide certainty for everyone, the details will be accelerated as quickly as possible but I cannot provide a date.
