Anecdotally yes, but shure wouldn't the world have collapsed without their expertise?

Did she "retire to avail of the enhanced lump-sums"?
We're losing our way here folks and not for the first time. There is a huge shortage of jobs and the situation will get worse and worse. Even as I type the politicians are informing us through radio interviews that 1000 people per week are emigrating. People dont emigrate for the fun of it.
Add in the amount of people who jumped ship over the last 18 months believing that lump sums were going to be cut through extra taxes. Also, dont forget the amount of people who retired to avail of the enhanced lump-sums and were re-employed the following day (on a temporary basis, of course) doing exactly the same jobs in the same places which translates to Pension-Payment + Part-Time Payment + Lump-Sum for the person who "retired." These people are now far better off and no new job was created.
Please forgive my bad use of English in above.
Which hospital was this, Chris? And is he working on public patients since his retirement?A relative of my wife was a consultant in a public hospital until last year. He took early retirement in order to protect his lump sum payment. As part of the retirement discussions with the hospital he was asked to continue working in the hospital in retirement, with his only demand being to never have to do on-call duty again. Three weeks after he "retired" he was back in surgery. Most of his colleagues that were of the same age, i.e. close to retirement, did exactly the same thing.

Which one?One of the large Dublin hospitals.
Yea, and while you're at it what's his name?
If you name the hospital it wouldn't take much for some people to figure out who the relative is and as he isn't a participant in this discussion it hardly seems fair to expose him.I thought it was a valid question.
One of the joys of working in the public sector is that all your business is done in the public domain. Every single expense payment and category for many public bodies is available in the public domain.If you name the hospital it wouldn't take much for some people to figure out who the relative is and as he isn't a participant in this discussion it hardly seems fair to expose him.
To what end though? what will it achieve? I wouldn't assume anything about any anonymous poster btw.One of the joys of working in the public sector is that all your business is done in the public domain.

In this particular case, I've no interest in exposing any particular individual. If Chris does identify the hospital, I'll write to the Chairman asking if any surgeons have retired and been rehired. If I don't get the information, I'll submit an FOI request. If Chris's story doesn't hold up, I know he'll be honourable enough to cover the cost of the FOI request.
A report on RTE radio news this morning said that according to the American Chamber of Commerce, there are approx 2,000 vacant jobs in american companies in Ireland. These are mainly skilled jobs in the Science and Technology area and the companies are having difficulty filling them.

Please name one specific hospital where this has happened.For reasons that MrMan outlined, I am not willing to expose the person in question. What I would add though, is that numerous colleagues of my wife's relative have done the exact same thing across a range of 3 Dublin hospitals and one Cork hospital. Feel free to contact the Dublin hospitals, but I really do not see to what avail.
Neither is it fair to make claims about the public service using vague terms such as 'a hospital'. There are enough false rumours going around about us.
