As someone who is next to take a seat in this area I am extremely concerned by these mistakes which have been highlighted. I thank the Chair for this latitude.

Following from what I said yesterday I refer to the "Prime Time" programme last night. The pensioners of today or those who are about to receive their pensions are never mentioned, nor is the fact that those pensions are worth very little. The Irish Insurance Federation and the Pensions Board are constantly pushing young people to take out pensions but they never mention the pensioners of today, the value of whose pensions has been completely eroded. That is never mentioned and those organisations will not answer any questions on those matters.
