Some civil servant retirees re-employed in new role
The policy and reform minister says he's not surprised twenty government employees have received a so-called "golden handshake" of £100,000 or more in the last five years.
Chris Thomas was answering a question from MHK Jason Moorhouse, who had asked if a cap on any amount given could be considered.
Mr Thomas admits there are cases where a departing civil servant can be taken back on, in different role:
Man treated for non-life threatening injuries following Ramsey incident
Two arrests made following reports of man being assaulted near Tesco
Two suspects in custody following Ramsey incident
Police say Tesco and car park will remain closed while investigation continues
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Move would 'formally recognise the area’s unique heritage, architectural character and natural environment'
Police dealing with 'serious incident' in Ramsey
Bowring Road Tesco store closed following incident in the car park
