The basic pension payable to a retired sergeant is €218.59 a week for 21 years' service. Where service exceeds 21 years, the pension is increased by an additional €7.53 for each further year of service up to a maximum of 31 years' service. This extra payment ceases to be payable when the pensioner qualifies for a social welfare retirement pension or an old age contributory pension.
