The Haddington Road Agreement does not affect retired members of the Garda Síochána in any different manner than it affects any other retired public servant. A reduction in public service pensions was legislated for as part of the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2013, and took effect on 1 July 2013.  It is important to note that public service pensions below €32,500 are not affected by any further reductions.
