Doyle to give up pension entitlements if elected

PRESIDENTIAL hopeful Avril Doyle has vowed to give up her TD, ministerial and MEP pension entitlements if she is elected to the Áras.

In an interview with the Irish Examiner, the 62-year-old pledged to “rationalise” current payments she is receiving from the public purse.

Ms Doyle is currently entitled to pensions payments of just over €84,000 for her time as a TD, MEP and junior minister.
