Question 922: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if, when a member of the prison service resigns from the service to join An Garda Síochána, they will carry across to their new position their annual increments in salary that they earned in the prison service; and if their years in the former service are recognised for pension purposes in the later service.

I am informed by the Garda Commissioner that an officer who transfers from the Irish Prison Service to An Garda Síochána is entitled to transfer all of his/her service for the purposes of the Garda Síochána Pension Scheme. The officer is not, however, entitled to carry across any salary entitlements from the Prison Service.
