A recent survey of members from An Garda Síochána, the Prison Service, the Fire Brigade, and the Defence Forces reveals significant worry about pension changes for those who joined after 2013. Nearly 75% of respondents fear they will need to seek alternative employment before retirement, with over 90% expressing concern about the financial implications on their families. Union leaders are calling for the reinstatement of a supplementary pension facility to help retain staff amid looming retirement age extensions.
