Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2023: Discussion
Ms Clare Tiernan:
I will take the two issues together. Head 34 would address Deputy Cronin's concern. Addressing the overall issue of both mandatory retirement ages and recruitment ages is a commitment in the strategic framework. Currently privates and corporals can stay up to the end of 2024 even if they are over the age of 50 but we do expect something shortly in this area to address the longer term position on retirement ages.
