As we sit here this afternoon, many are being forced into taking retirement against their will. Not only are they forced into retirement, they are forced onto a Jobseeker's payment which is grossly unfair. The Taoiseach will be well aware that in February last a Bill came before this House to abolish the mandatory retirement age. It has gone through pre-committee scrutiny. We are waiting on a money message from the Taoiseach. When will that money message be delivered because it is grossly unfair that people are being forced into taking retirement against their will and onto a Jobseeker's payment? When will the money message come and will the Taoiseach commit to abolish the mandatory retirement age?
