Mary Harney retired with a package worth more than €300,000 and is entitled to an annual pension of over €120,000. She receives an annual ministerial pension of over €70,000 and a TDs pension of €50,600. She also received a pension lump sum of €160,000, a termination lump sum of about €17,000 and monthly termination payments from the Oireachtas during her first 12 months of retirement worth another €66,900, Mary then married one of the heads of FAS who found it very difficult to explain where the €1 billion (yes billion) a year they were recieving in a time of nearly full employment went, Her Husband left FAS an opened up a training agency himself. I wonder who he gets the work off? It’s one big club baby, and you ain’t in it, (but we will allow you to pay for it).
