188. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport 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. [3295/16]

As my Department has not received any objections from civil servants who were retiring on reaching age 65 years, I cannot provide any of the detailed information requested by the Deputy.

I have asked the non-commercial State Agencies under the aegis of my Department to provide the Deputy with the information requested. If you do not receive a reply from the agencies within 10 days please advise my private office.
