Garda Síochána Bill 2004 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil]: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage.

Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)
Members of the Garda Síochána are entitled to a full pension after 30 years service, although this is changing for new recruits. That is a substantial property right accorded to them. Not everybody can retire after 30 years and receive half their salary, inflation-proofed for the rest of their existence.
