Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Garda Pensions: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Oliver Shanley:

We are inquiring into this. Deputy Chambers has applied to ascertain the number of people concerned and it has been referred to the Commissioner. From this we would be able to assess how much would be involved, but we cannot do this until we know the number of people in a position to claim. Most of these people would be in their 70s now. It might not be that many people, depending on how many have survived.
