I welcome the increase in the mandatory retirement age to 70 for the vast majority of public servants a while back. It is a very good thing on balance. I understand that increase has not been extended to the semi-state sector, neither to the commercial nor the non-commercial parts of it. Does the Government have any plans to extend that mandatory retirement age increase to the semi-state sector? What are the Taoiseach's thoughts on the matter?
