Dail Éireann — 2024-07-10
============================================================

Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

Absolutely. I think with regard to any further changes, if it were to increase beyond that again, that would be through engagement with any of the associations referenced here but it would be always voluntary. It would be always optional. If we were to change the mandatory retirement age, that would have to be done with the Houses. If we were to change anything regarding the accelerated pension, that would have to be changed in this House as well. This is simply just to give those options to the many people I know who are hoping to stay on that little bit longer, and obviously hope to do so with the support of this House.
