Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 June 2004
148 Mr. Cregan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the plans he has to increase the retirement age for existing gardaí, sergeants, superintendents and chief superintendents; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18234/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraI currently have no plans to increase the retirement age for gardaí, sergeants, inspectors, superintendents and chief superintendents who were recruited to the force prior to 1 April 2004. The changes in the retirement age for members of the Garda Síochána, outlined in the Public Service Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2004, will apply only to new entrants who are recruited to the Garda Síochána after 1 April 2004.
