Comments by ISME Chief – Garda Pensions.

Gordon Deegan, writing in the Irish Examiner, 29th March quotes the following comments from Mark Fielding, Chief Eexecutive, ISME –  “Gardai are retiring with average lump sums of €100,000 on top of their pensions, which shows tax payers are paying over the odds, to fund generous packages“.

The ISME Chief Executive by generalising, use of eye-catching and distorting facts, gives the impression all garda retiress last year received a pension bonanza.  Averaging is very unfair to rank & file members of the force.
