Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein)

Former Supreme Court Judges Ronan Keane and Tom Finlay each get €133,443. Another Supreme Court judge, Anthony Hederman, gets a total annual pension of €152,806. I could go on, because the list is very lengthy.

Turning to the Minister's announcement this evening about a reduction of 20% on public service pensions over €100,000, I wish to comment on the examples he has offered to the House. A person in receipt of a pension of €125,000, taking this reduction into account, will be left with the paltry sum of €111,240.
