SINN Féin will not ask retiring TDs, including former leader Gerry Adams, to give back any of their pension entitlements - but has promised to reduce retirement payments to future TDs and Ministers.

The party’s finance spokesman Pearse Doherty was responding to a report in today’s 'Irish Independent' which revealed the €22m bonanza due to 17 retiring TDs.

Among them are Mr Adams who is entitled to an estimated lump sum of around €63,000 and an annual pension of €21,060 which would make his pension in the private market worth an estimated €686,592. His fellow outgoing colleagues Jonathan O’Brien (€495k), Martin Ferris (€1.5m), Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (€1.7m) are also set to receive substantial pension payments.

No, just anti-Catholic. The multi-faith rooms in the airport and hospitals are a testimony to their pluralism.
