Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Report 42 of the Review Body on Higher Remuneration in the Public Service: Discussion

Ms Maureen Cronin:

If somebody was in post in 2007, he or she must work right through to retirement. That is my situation and, therefore, my pension, when it is calculated, will be at the wrong rate because my salary was at the wrong rate. Whoever replaces me will go in on the wrong rate. If I were to pass away, my spouse would get the wrong rate. There are a number of different people affected along the chain of employment and pension.
