Olwyn Enright (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister for his reply. I appreciate that the report will contain some of the statistics I seek, but will it detail the age categories of women who take up pensions? It would help to inform the House as we proceed with the Green Paper's provisions.

I will probably be referred to the Green Paper, but does the Minister intend to take steps to incentivise the uptake of personal pensions among women, particularly younger women? The Minister shares my concern regarding the large number of female employees in low-paid employment, such as in hotels and restaurants. They comprise a vulnerable category. Are there plans to target such employees through advertisements or promotions? May I ask another question?
