Can I find out the timeline for the necessary legislative amendments to facilitate an extension of the mandatory age of retirement? Specifically, I am asking about retained fire service personnel to the age of 62 years. I am really asking about John Molloy, who is the station officer in Dunleer. Unfortunately or fortunately, he will turn 60 on 24 May. The plan is to introduce this and I am trying to make sure Mr. Molloy is not impacted and that Dunleer fire station is not impacted, because it has a very minimal crew at this point. He also tells me that, in relation to pension changes, it would not impact on him because he started on a previous pension scheme.
