Reform of An Garda Síochána: Motion [Private Members] (11 Apr 2017)

Clare Daly: The danger of walking down the middle of the road is that one runs the risk of getting knocked down on both sides. Of course, it is also not a sustainable position because at some time one has to decide to go to one side or the other. That is the problem for Fianna Fáil tonight. Everything that party said acknowledges that it does not have confidence in the Commissioner and senior...

Other Questions: State Pensions (11 Apr 2017)

I will give an example of a former Aer Lingus colleague of mine who took early retirement. His pension was €25,615 per year. He celebrated his 65th birthday in January 2017 but it was not much of a celebration...

Other Questions: State Pensions (11 Apr 2017)

Clare Daly: This question arises from the massive race of the previous Government to increase the pension age in 2012 without putting in place any financial bridging arrangements to cushion the blow from the way in which our pension schemes operate, with the result that many people who took early retirement had their pension based on an un-coordinated basis until they reached the age of 65. However,...
