Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2012: Committee Stage
5:00 pm
Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)
To clarify, if somebody is in his or her 65th year and discovers that the commencement date of employment does not allow the full number of contributions to be made, he or she will fall short and not be entitled to receive 100% of the contributory pension but 85% or 90% of it. I hope we are talking about the same issue. In the context of contributions made since the commencement of work, is the proposed extension to kick in from April, or is it something separate?
