Members of An Garda Síochána who joined the force prior to 1 April 2004 may retire once they have served at least 30 years and they have reached 50 years of age. Members of An Garda Síochána who joined the Force on or after 1 April 2004 may retire once they have served at least 30 years and have reached 55 years of age. In both cases members must retire once they reach 60 years of age.

Members can avail of a Cost Neutral Early Retirement (CNER) Scheme. I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that no members availed of this scheme in the stations mentioned by the Deputy.
