Question 458: To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if when a garda takes up a new post within the public sector on retirement from An Garda Síochána they must rescind their Garda pension until such time as they retire from their new position; and if not, the pension arrangements for such a person.

The pension of a retired Garda who takes up employment elsewhere in the public sector is not affected by such employment. A Bill to provide for a Single Public Service Pension Scheme has been initiated in the Dáil by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform which, I understand, will address this matter.
