Ms Aideen Mooney:
When people are granted leave to remain here and take up work, they are given credits for a period of two to three years up to when they started to work. They will have two to three prior years credit put against their record once they start working. Those credits will count towards qualifying for long-term pensions such as the State pension. They are being accommodated by way of pre-entry credits for two to three years.
