That brings their cumulative pension to roughly €24,000 which, in the context of the average industrial wage of around €34,000 to €36,000, is moderately good. I would like to see it higher, which is why I would like to see the OECD's recommendation of a supplementary scheme being implemented in Ireland as economic conditions improve.
