Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 September 2011
101 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will increase the retirement age for Garda sergeants, inspectors and superintendents; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25309/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraRetirement of members of An Garda Síochána is governed by statutory provisions which set the mandatory retirement age for all members at 60 years of age. I have no plans to extend that age at this time.
Of course members with 30 years service may retire on a full pension at any time once they reach 50 years of age, for those who joined prior to 2004, or 55 years of age for those who joined since then.
