There are approximately 11,000 retired Army personnel and I accept there are different age profiles and so on. However, in some cases, they would be people who had direct combat experience and who would be compromised because of that and have to be taken care of. ONE gets €130,000 and is subject to whatever it gets from charitable donations to look after retired personnel.
