    I don't know if this is the right forum for this question. Mods, please feel free to move if required. Thanks.

    I was just wondering ...
    ... does both Ahern and O'Flynn resigning mean that they still get their pension whereas, if they were expelled, they wouldn't ?

    Thanks - Valerie

    PS - The purpose of this post is not to engage in political debate. :)

    Resigning from a political party has no effect on pensions due as a result of public service on office as a TD or other public official.

    There was a very ill conceived press release about this and a Constitutional Referendum in recent days. No doubt Minister Shatter will clear this up in the coming days ... Well, he did before re. Green Party statements in same a few years back!
