This was followed in 2005 with the Grangegorman Development Agency Act (GDA Act) which made provision for the development of the Grangegorman site as an Open Urban Quarter including education, health, and community facilities. The Agency was subsequently established in 2006. Grangegorman Development Agency Mission – Vision – Values Mission Statement To transform Grangegorman into a vibrant community that encompasses a world class, integrated and inclusive education, health, and community campus and urban quarter. This will be achieved by delivering a built environment that is in keeping with the Grangegorman Masterplan Vision. Vision To be locally and internationally recognised as an exemplar of community urban regeneration, focused on education and health. Values Collaboration, Delivery Focus, Design Quality, Integrity, Sustainability Objectives The overall objective of the GDA can be summarised as being the social and urban renewal of the 30 hectares of the former St. Brendan’s Hospital site in Grangegorman and its surrounding areas, driven by the relocation of TU Dublin and the provision of modern primary and residential healthcare facilities. Grangegorman will be a new piece of Dublin City with a vibrant sustainable community based largely around new, world-class third level educational facilities and other community focused services. Development In numbers, the Project will ultimately deliver around 400,000 sq. m. of floor space, of which about 60,000 sq. m. will relate to the delivery of healthcare services; 280,000 sq. m. will relate to education; and a further 60,000 sq. m. will be occupied by a mixed-use development focused on science and technology. It is expected that around 30,000 people will use the Grangegorman Site once it is fully completed. The Project also includes the provision of around 15 hectares of connecting streets, public spaces, and parkland with football pitches, playgrounds, and jogging paths. The public realm is designed to link strongly into the neighbouring areas, creating new connections into and across the wider city.

It is a condition of the Collective Agreement that persons availing of the agreement will not be eligible for re employment in the Public Service by any Public Service body (as defined by the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Acts 2009 – 2011) for a period of 2 years from termination of the employment. People who availed of this scheme and who may be successful in this competition will have to prove their eligibility (expiry of period of non eligibility) and the Minister’s consent will have to be secured prior to employment by any Public Service body. Incentivised Scheme for Early Retirement (ISER) It is a condition of the Incentivised Scheme for Early Retirement (ISER) as set out in Department of Finance Circular 12/09 that retirees under that scheme are not eligible to apply for another position in the same employment or the same sector.

Pension payments will, however, be resumed on the ceasing of such employment or on the person’s 60th birthday, whichever is the later, but on resumption the pension will be based on the person’s actual reckonable service as a teacher (i.e. the added years previously granted will not be considered in the calculation of the pension payment).

It is a condition of the VER scheme that persons availing of the scheme will not be eligible for re employment in the public health sector or in the wider Public Service or in a body wholly or mainly funded from public moneys. The same prohibition on re employment applies under the VRS, except that the prohibition is for a period of 7 years.
