Aindrias Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

First, I acknowledge the huge range of measures that have been taken to support retention, the likes of the working time directive; the various monetary benefits; the buildings and so many more. As the Tánaiste said, one could keep talking. There are a huge range of measures and I want to acknowledge that.
I will focus in on the age-related one. In particular, the decision has been made to extend the age to 62. People who are watching their birthday know the clock is set for them so if there is an indication of a timeframe on that it would be helpful.
