Mary White: On behalf of my colleagues on both sides of the House, I compliment and congratulate the Minister of State, Deputy Kelleher, on his first formal presentation to Seanad Ãireann. The young people in the Visitors Gallery should be aware that it is the first time this young Deputy from Cork has sat in this Chamber as Minister of State. He only recently received this honour, which is the...
- Seanad: The Irish Market in a Globalised Economy: Statements (21 Nov 2007)
Mary White: In the policy document, entitled A New Approach to Ageing and Ageism, I made 28 recommendations on ageing and ageism in Irish society. The document was drawn up after detailed research and discussions at many public meetings I arranged on the subject. If only I could convey the feelings expressed at these meetings. There were pleas from men and women approaching 65 who did not want to give...

Mary White: I will tell the Senator about that later as I have prepared a Bill. In 2007, a retirement age of 65 is out of date. Mandatory retirement at 65 was introduced when life expectancy was only 65. With greatly improved standards of living and better health care and nutrition, the average life expectancy of a man aged 65 today is 80. For a woman aged 65 today, the average life expectancy is 84....

Mary White: I do not wish to criticise the Leas-Chathaoirleach but I was watching the clock when Opposition Members were speaking. With Internet access, conference calls, wireless communications, mobile phones, laptops and e-mail, there is no reason a person must be under a particular roof from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to do a job. Conference calls and e-mails mean that the standard office setting no longer...

- Seanad: Pension Provision: Motion (Resumed) (14 Nov 2007)
Mary White: I am an action woman. Dr. Twomey has called for action on the issue of pensions. I would like to achieve over the next two years the abolition of mandatory retirement at 65 years. In my document, A New Approach to Ageing and Ageism, I made 28 recommendations on which I would like action to improve the quality of life of older people in Ireland, the first two of which concern compulsory...
- Seanad: Pension Provision: Motion (Resumed) (14 Nov 2007)
Mary White: I will not say any more; I might agree with the Senator. Boston College's research has shown that people who remain in employment past the determined age of 65 are healthier and happier as a result of their continued employment. It is not just about money but the social interaction. With modern medicine, nutrition and housing conditions people are flying, so to speak, at 65 and 70. Forced...
