-----to raise with the Minister for Finance the issue of retirement. People used to be able to retire at 65. A measure has now been introduced whereby they must go on jobseeker's allowance between the ages of 65 and 66. It is absolutely idiotic and makes a farce of the whole idea of jobseeker's allowance. People retire and are then told they must go on jobseeker's allowance. It is an absolute nonsense.
