    You were asking about his pension, which he will get in 2047 when he turns 65. Not in 2 years as you claimed you read somewhere.

    Are you sure? Does Mary Hannafin not collect a pension for her time as minister even though she is not yet pension age?

    The rules changed for anyone elected since 2004. Eoghan Murphy became a TD in 2011.

    He wasn’t kicked out of his job, he is still a TD.
    I have no objection to him getting a pension, but I do object to him (a) not being able to fund it himself from contributions made from his well paid job, just as I do, and (b) being able to draw it down before his constituents are.

    The pension arrangements for guards (and Defence force members) are a separate issue and worthy of a further thread.

    He isn't, he had resigned his seat. It is currently vacant.

    Thanks for clarifying - I had a feeling the rules changed at some stage but I thought it was after the IMF paid a visit.

    "Former housing minister Eoghan Murphy has resurfaced in Armenia "

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.
