General Scheme of the Employment (Restriction of Certain Mandatory Retirement Ages) Bill 2024: Discussion
Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I agree, which is why I brought forward legislation that would have dealt with the issue.
Head 7 effectively allows an employer to dismiss a worker who has passed a mandatory retirement age clause without any repercussions. I believe that to be fundamentally unfair. Any such decision should be open to challenge. I ask the witnesses for their views on it.
