Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Garda Pensions: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Oliver Shanley:

I understand the GRA stated it was only interested in its current members and not former members. At the time the agreement was set out it was interested in former members. I was brought into this recently by Mr. Morris and Mr. Hynes, and we are trying to put together as much as we can to help the committee. I have written to Mr. Pat Ennis, the general secretary of the GRA, requesting him to let us know whether the GRA is prepared to support us in our application and endeavours. I understand he may not be able to reply to me because of the short notice.
