Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions
Equality and Fairness of State Pension: Discussion
4:00 pm
Mr. Henry Gaynor:
That is true, but that is from 1995 on. I understand that public sector workers who started before 1995 and who have 40 years of service are entitled to a full pension at the age of 60, 61, 62 or whatever age they decide to retire at. Once they have 40 years done, they can retire. My friend about whom I was talking started well before 1995. He is being treated completely differently from a person in the public sector who started in the same year. His public sector counterpart would be untouched.
However, he would be losing his pension at 65.
