Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions

Equality and Fairness of State Pension: (Resumed) Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Fergus Whelan:

No. Every pension jurisdiction in Europe is different. In some cases, the entire pension is an occupational pension. Our system is a mixture of first pillar and second pillar pensions but, in the time available to me, I will not be able to explain it. We can be certain that a 60-year-old scaffolder in Berlin has better pension prospects than a 60-year-old scaffolder in Dublin.
