If it works anything like the redundancy package in this thread there will be no reduction in numbers just a regular FG and Labour golden handshake.

These guys are setting the country up for a pensions timebomb, you reduce numbers but you have to pay them a lump sum and pensions. No thought what so ever in this at all. Public perception of numbers dropping but no real deal or reduction in pay.
I read this on the Irish Times.
Link?

How far do you trust Mr Bruton's promises?
Isn't this the crux of it? That the way the irish political system works, they will rehire - whether in a roundabout fashion - i.e. through agencies - or otherwise...but ultimately they will succumb and re-hire?If those posts are not re-filled, which is presumably the declared intention.

The heavy lifting that needs to be done is in regards to the salaries paid at certain grades. IF they don't have the stomach to tackle this head on, can they at least amend the public sector pay rates for new hires?
They have done, in some areas. New entrants to teaching posts, for example, will get lower core pay, no increments for higher degree qualifications, and diminished pension rights compared to those recruited before last year. They'll also face higher teacher: pupil ratios and dramatically reduced SNA provision. I'm sure there are other big sectors facing similar cuts.IF they don't have the stomach to tackle this head on, can they at least amend the public sector pay rates for new hires?

. . . but still.. a country in the middle of recession. How much has changed since then? Not much.[/QUOTE said:Middle of a recession, I think we are in the infancy of this recession yet to come . . . unfortunately.
I'm baffled, it's like nobody is reading what I'm posting...
They are in the process of identifying areas with staff surpluses. Anecdotally everyone knows these areas exist, and these are what are explicitly being targeted. By definition, they cannot let people become redundant in these areas and then rehire. AFAIK the only areas where rehiring of the type you've outlined has happened have been in areas where people retired resulting in a critical shortage of manpower.
I'm pretty sure most people can agree that was fairly flawed, but I can't understand how people are blurring the distinction between those retirements and these proposed redundancies...
