Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 December 2004
259 Mr. P. McGrath asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if the application of pension abatement applies to retired judges who take on further roles, inquiries or reports; if the same terms apply to all such appointments; if not, if individual agreements are reached in such matters; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32094/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe statutory provisions on the remuneration and pensions of retired judges are set out in section 46 of the Courts (Supplemental Provisions) Act 1961. Section 46(6) of the Act deals with the situation where a judge in receipt of a pension is employed in a position remunerated out of moneys provided by the Oireachtas or out of the central fund. The effect is to prescribe, without exception, for certain abatement of pensions in such circumstances.
