Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 December 2017
243. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if superannuation deductions are payable in respect of serving members of An Garda Síochána who have completed the maximum years of service; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51776/17]
View answerThe terms and conditions of the Garda Superannuation Schemes are set out in the Garda Síochána Pension Orders 1925 to 1981 and agreements under the Garda Síochána Conciliation and Arbitration Scheme.
Membership of An Garda Síochána superannuation schemes is confined to serving attested members of An Garda Síochána. Membership of the main pension scheme is compulsory for all members attested to the organisation and membership commences from date of attestation. The scheme is a contributory one. Periodic deductions are made from pensionable remuneration during pensionable service with the organisation until the date of discharge.
Superannuation deductions are, accordingly, payable in respect of serving members of An Garda Síochána who have completed the maximum years of service.
