Garda Pensions: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Oliver Shanley:
We were given an option when we resigned, and maybe it was an excuse. Someone might have been setting off to get another job or so on and the money was put in front of him or her to be paid back, but it was not explained to me at the time that taking that option would do away with my pension rights and that I could not look forward to having them in future.
