Jobseeker's Payments
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-29
============================================================

Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

I agree with the Deputy that people who want to work for longer should be allowed to. Let us face it; we are living longer, we are healthier and we want to work. It is good for a person's health to continue to work. Many have said that those who work longer live longer. We certainly need to look at that. The commission will examine a range of issues when it is set up. I will await the findings of its report on the entire matter.
