Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Pre-Budget Submission: Age Action Ireland
2:00 pm
Mr. Justin Moran:
The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform led an interdepartmental working group that published a report on fuller working lives. That group made a number of recommendations to the Workplace Relations Commission, WRC, and the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission, IHREC. It also recommended that training and supports be provided to enable older workers to remain in employment or to assist people to return to employment. That report contained some good recommendations that could be usefully pursued.
