I move amendment No. 2:

(a) To insert the following words after "that reversal of the 2012 changes to the State pension would cost €60 million;":
"— further acknowledges that there are more 65 years olds than any other age group in the State on Jobseekers payments;"; and
(b)To insert the following words after "should be given the option of continuing to work.":
"— the reinstatement of the State Pension Transition until such time as mandatory retirement ages are abolished and older people are guaranteed a fair and sustainable pension at retirement via a comprehensive programme of pension system reform, which would cost €84 million."
