No gain for post-1995 public servants

I would like to correct Eddie Hobbs, who was on Prime Time last week debating with Shay Cody of Impact.

Mr Cody said public service pensioners do not receive the state contributory pension, in addition to their occupational pension.

Mr Hobbs said this was not true, and that those hired after 1995 receive the state contributory pension, implying this was an advantage.
