Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
General Scheme of the Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Barra Roantree:
That is my understanding of how the scheme will work. We talked earlier about how that is one aspect and complexity that the scheme introduces. There can be couples with the exact same income and distribution of income between partners who get different levels of relief depending on whether one person in the couple is in a more traditional private pension scheme. That is one complexity.
