A joint civil/military review has been conducted on mandatory retirement ages for all ranks in the Permanent Defence Force. As Defence Forces superannuation arrangements are based on contracts of service and mandatory retirement ages, the recommendations in the review require consideration from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, in relation to implications on costs and pensions. The matter is currently the subject of detailed discussions with that Department.
Discussions with the Permanent Defence Force representative associations will take place following the conclusion of the consultation with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
