151. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance to review the case of a person (details supplied) regarding their retirement; if an independent process will be established to work through outstanding grievances; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53881/26]

I wish to advise the Deputy that the full range of relevant human resources policies and procedures relating to these matters were fully applied and considered during the individual's period of employment with the Department.

Accordingly, I am satisfied that all relevant internal procedures and the relevant dispute resolution mechanisms have been fully pursued and concluded, both during the individual's employment and in the period following retirement. As such, there are no outstanding matters requiring the establishment of any additional review or grievance process.
