    pay off to Garda of €138,000

    THE Garda traffic superintendent who suddenly retired after his arrest on suspicion of drink driving will get a 'golden handshake' of over €138,000 and a pension of more than €46,000 for the rest of his life.

    surely if you are convicted(which he hasn't been) you should get nothing, or at least a reduced pension.

    or you could look at it from the perspective that if a player, (trevor brennan ex toulouse,leinster,ireland rugby is a good example) retired after doing something naughty he wouldnt be deserving of a testimonial?

    Can't stop someone from getting his/her pension but the "golden handshake" is a disgrace.

    Pension at half his final salary is very generous too & can't see too many private sector jobs paying that.

    You wouldn't see too many public sector jobs paying it either!
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    2 of them were mine I noticed. One of them I don't care about, but the other, where I disagreed that it was similar to a testimonial, had no reason to be deleted, surely?

    I think you'll be needing to look up the word "accident"...
