Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2023-03-07
============================================================

James Browne (FF), Wexford

The standard compulsory retirement age in the public service was consolidated, following the enactment of the Public Service Superannuation (Age of Retirement) Act 2018, to the greatest extent possible at the age of 70. This position represents current Government policy and is a position which the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform seeks to implement in a consistent manner in order to protect the integrity of the policy. In short, Government policy is to maintain a standard compulsory retirement age at 70 across all of the public sector service. There are no plans to extend the retirement age for judges
