177. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government his views on a submission (details supplied); if he will reply to the requests in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3286/16]

In the last four years there have been no cases taken against my Department by civil servants objecting to a requirement to retire at the age of 65.

My Department does not have information relating to any such cases in respect of public servants employed by bodies under the Department’s aegis; this is a matter for the organisations concerned.
