Galway Senator brands Maire Geoghegan Quinn’s pension ‘immoral’

Galway Bay fm newsroom – A Galway Senator says the 3000 euro a week pension pot of outgoing Comissioner Maire Geoghegan-Quinn is ‘immoral.’
Senator Fidelma Healy Eames says she’s shocked by the amount of money due to be paid out to the Galway native EU Comissioner under current rules.
It’s been revealed that Maire Geoghegan-Quinn is entitled to a total 432 thousand euro EU pay-off following her departure from her role as EU Comissioner.
She’s also entitled to an EU pension of more than 54 thousand euro a year from September 2015, while collecting her Irish TD and ministerial pensions totalling €108,000 a year.
This gives her total pension entitlements worth over 3,000 euro a week.
Speaking in the Seanad, Senator Healy Eames says it’s too much money for one individual.
