Ms MaryRose McGovern:

The Senator has raised an interesting policy question to be determined. Not long ago, we had a query of that nature from a member of the public who wanted to maintain exactly that type of complaint. We were able to point that person in the direction of the Irish Pensions Council, which we thought might be best placed to examine the issues that arise in circumstances where there are people who wish to buttress their earnings and who are already in receipt of pension benefit.
