Director of Corporate enforcement quit job, returned to civil service, and retired a day later
The Director of Corporate enforcement Paul Appleby retired from his position a day before retiring from the Civil Service, and made an extra €300,000 by doing so.
The Irish Examiner's Mary Regan, who obtained the details under a Freedom of Information request, reports this morning that Appleby may not have been entitled to early retirement from his role from the ODCE but it wasn't an established post within the civil service. Appleby proposed to retire in January of this year and the details of his retirement plans are detailed in the correspondence to the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
As a result his last 24 hours in the civil service were spent as a principle officer. Appleby subsequently agreed to stay on in the role for a further six months on an interim basis.
