Over 30 years of retirement, Swords would collect as much as $2.43 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Swords received $51,016 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Swords will have already received $103,562 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
