Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: HIQA Inspection of the Oberstown Children's Detention Campus: Discussion (8 Nov 2017)

Lisa Chambers: My question centres on the supports available to staff. In many institutional settings the pressures of the job can be a factor in people not adhering to guidelines or the rules in place. It applies in particular in this setting. It is a very difficult job. Sometimes staff might find themselves in an impossible situation. Is counselling available for staff? Are supports available? Is...

From 1995, commissioned officers of the Defence Forces have paid a PRSI class-A contribution, and their pensions are fully integrated with the social welfare system. They were eligible for a supplementary pension, provided by the agreement in 2009, CCR 421, because they reached retirement age at 56. This...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Defence Forces Pensions (9 Nov 2017)

Lisa Chambers: I appreciate that this is complex, but there is an anomaly. It is different from other areas of the public service in that officers are mandatorily retired.

In 2012, when the single pension scheme was being negotiated, this did not arise. There was an...
