Yes, it is paid at a lower rate but it is not means tested. There is a big difference in changing the State pension age to 65, because if we did that, it would cost somewhere in the region of €355 million a year, and that figure will grow every year due to an ageing population. To get clarity on one thing, is the Deputy’s position that everyone should get a pension at age 65?
