Public Service Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2004
Public bill · Government · Presented
Raises the normal pension age to 65 for most people entering the public service from 1 April 2004, while removing compulsory retirement based solely on age. Special rules apply to new Gardaí, prison officers, firefighters and Defence Forces personnel: their pension ages range from 50 to 55, with limits on how long some may work. The changes also cover new Oireachtas members and office-holders, adjust pension accrual and service rules, and allow new pension schemes for Defence Forces entrants. Ill-health and death benefits remain protected.
