Mr. Henry Gaynor:

As the Deputy says, I could work on until 68 but I work shifts and work three weekends out of four and when I hit 65, I will have had 43 years of doing that and may not wish to do that any more. People get tired and it is known that people age differently. Ideally, if the Minister wants us to work on, it should be voluntary. Legislation should be put in place whereby if I wished to work on for three years, I would know when coming up to the age of 65 that I could work on until I was 66, 67 or 68. At present, however, no one knows exactly where they stand.
