What we do

Our mission is to defend and promote the interests of members. To do this effectively, we want to include as many retired colleagues in our membership as possible.

How we do this

We engage directly with Government representatives and Government Departments, making approaches and submissions on relevant issues, including annual pre-Budget submissions.  We are affiliated to the Alliance of Retired Public Servants.  We engage with the Alliance, and with other organisations representing retired public servants, to fight for pension restoration and improved services for members.  We are working to improve communications and enhance the position of the Association and its members. 

Organisation

We are governed by a Council comprising 4 Officers and not less than 10 other members. We hold An Annual General Meeting each May to decide policy and elect the Council. There are Branches in Cork, Donegal, Dublin, Galway, Kildare, Limerick, Mayo, Midlands, North-East, Sligo, Wexford with professional Branches for Teagasc and an Post pensioners (a total of 13 Branches). Each Branch holds an Annual meeting.  We inform members on issues of interest by means of our Newsletters, our web site, www.rcpsa.ie and through local Branches.  Some Branches provide a social function valued by many members.
