Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of the Employment (Restriction of Certain Mandatory Retirement Ages) Bill 2024: Discussion

Mr. Pat Mellon:

I am due to attend a joint committee next door and one of the things relates to the idea from the Irish Senior Citizens Parliament of a universal pension. If we focus on a universal pension, that man would be entitled to claim his pension. There are other ways then of funding it. We have very generous pension tax breaks. One of our beliefs is that there is a universal pension for everybody when they come to a certain age.
