Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Employment (Restriction of Certain Mandatory Retirement Ages) Bill 2024: Discussion (10 Apr 2024)

David Stanton: I thank the witnesses for their presentations and the work they do with older citizens. I am one of those TDs who are of the age mentioned, so I smiled when that was said. All of the by-elections we would have if TDs had to go when they were 65 or 66 would be disruptive. I will ask a few brief questions of Age Action initially. Ms Murphy stated that the requirement to give three months...

David Stanton: There is one other question I wanted to ask Mr. Mellon. He talked about the right of older people to choose their retirement age. I agree with him on that.

They talked about 60% of female respondents continuing to...
