One issue Mr. Gaynor was particularly focused on was the idea that a person may leave work at 65 years but does not get the State pension until 66 years, and that there may be a year when the person has the option of claiming jobseeker's benefit. Does ICTU have an opinion on this? To claim jobseeker's benefit, a person must be seeking work. A person does not qualify for jobseeker's benefit or allowance if he is not seeking work.
