Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

General Scheme of the Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Jacqueline Thornton:

Yes, and the pension infrastructure is in place. We believe that the structures are already in place to deliver auto-enrolment. Certainly this is what was originally suggested in the straw man proposal. I apologise as I have been corrected by my colleague about Deputy Kerrane's question - it was a European Commission report on the best practices of auto-enrolment, not an OECD report.
