Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)

The Minister referred to current public and civil servants. There are also retired public servants who are willing to return to their profession. The Minister for Transport spoke in the Seanad about creating a dedicated Garda traffic corps composed of retired gardaí. How would they be affected? I am aware retired people may earn a certain amount of income without an effect on their pension. Has the Department any thoughts on that issue? When the Bill is passed, how will previous public servants be treated if they wish to return to work in the public service?
