Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 September 2013
979. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the way in which the Haddington Road agreement will affect retired members of the Garda; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36838/13]
View answerThe Haddington Road Agreement does not affect retired members of the Garda Síochána in any different manner than it affects any other retired public servant. A reduction in public service pensions was legislated for as part of the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2013, and took effect on 1 July 2013. It is important to note that public service pensions below €32,500 are not affected by any further reductions.
