As the Deputy will be aware my colleague, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, has brought forward the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Bill 2015. That Bill starts the process of the phased restoration of remuneration to public servants in accordance with the terms of the Lansdowne Road Agreement. Under that Agreement, the annualised amount of the basic salary of a public servant, including a member of An Garda Síochána, that is not greater than €65,000 shall, on and from 1 September 2017, be increased by €1,000.
The salary of a Garda is in general pensionable subject to the normal Garda superannuation terms and conditions, however, it is advisable that individuals seek their own advice in this regard.
