General Scheme of the Employment (Restriction of Certain Mandatory Retirement Ages) Bill 2024: Discussion
Mr. Pat Mellon:
Yes, it is a cliff event but there is no logical reason it should be so. Where retirement is mandatory at a certain age, that person's position is not being made redundant. The position is still there. There is no reason there cannot be an easing out or easing in of a new arrangement. There is no logical reason an employer can give that people have to retire. Their position is not being made redundant.
