Community Safety and Investment: Motion [Private Members]
Seanad Éireann — 2024-02-28
============================================================

Gerard P. Craughwell (IND), Labour Panel

I move amendment No. 1:
After the last paragraph under "calls on the Government to:", to insert the following paragraphs:
" - restore the pensions of members of An Garda Síochána to what it was pre-2008 and remove the requirement for post-1996 retirees to sign on for jobseekers benefit while awaiting access to full pension;
- implement the recommendations listed in multiple reports concerning the working conditions of Gardaí to incentivise recruitment because the calls listed above cannot be achieved without sufficient numbers.”.
