Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2023-12-12
============================================================

Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

How do we look at who takes up this accommodation? It is not something being actively looked at with regard to how it would be applied, who would get the accommodation, for what length of time and whether it would apply only to gardaí. A series of questions would have to be answered.
A question was asked on pensions. This comes under the remit of the Department of Finance or the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform. Any change to pensions for gardaí would mean changes more broadly across the public sector. There are ongoing discussions and negotiations with various unions at present and that is where the matter would be best dealt with more broadly.
