Public Service Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed).

 

1:00 pm

Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)

I am wondering and thinking of the context when the Bill is passed. Take for example a teacher who retired last month because he or she was 65 years of age. When the Bill is passed, it will remove the cap on the maximum age for retirement. If that teacher decides next September that he or she wants to return to teaching, he or she is still entitled to the pension because of having worked the required number of years. It would be somewhat unusual if the person returned to the profession as a new entrant.
