This section, which is designed to amend section 113A of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005, provides that "Where a person in receipt of invalidity pension under Chapter 17 of this Part attains pensionable age and becomes entitled to a pension under this section and to a pension from the United Kingdom, the weekly rate of pension payable shall be the greater of ... the amount of pension payable, calculated in accordance with the arrangement made with the UK". Does this mean that if a person is entitled to a pension in the UK and another in Ireland, and the one in the UK is greater, he or she will get to keep the UK pension?
