Question 194: To ask the Minister for Defence if there are plans to introduce voluntary early retirement in the Defence Forces; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17100/09]

There are no plans to introduce a voluntary early retirement scheme in the Defence Forces. The existing enhanced pension arrangements for members of the Defence Forces differ significantly from the normal public service arrangements.
