Secondment Policy in the Civil and Public Service: Engagement with Department of Public Expenditure and Reform
Mr. David Moloney:
Up to the 2011 policy change they would have been entitled to retire at 50 and immediately get the full pension. However many years of service they had, which might be 30 years if they were 50 years-old, they would get ten added years and they would get a full pension. A Secretary General currently serving who retired at 50 would get a pension of a large amount of money immediately.
