I do not know if active retirement comes under the Minister of State's brief, but more people are choosing to continue working after 65 years of age, often in a different capacity to that which they previously occupied. My mother, who is over 70 years of age, still carries on our family business. Without working in the family shop, she would be a drain on health services. In the aftermath of the economic consequences of the Celtic tiger, it is almost impossible to hire part-time staff. There are many retired people who would like to work in shops for two or three hours a day or three days a week because it would get them out of their homes. These people represent a major source of prospective employees for employers. It makes good sense to bring them into the part-time workforce.
