Pension Provisions
Dail Éireann — 2024-09-24
============================================================

Aindrias Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

This question relates to people taking time from work to care, very often for family members, and enabling them to qualify for a pension. There are situations involving older people in particular who take time off later in their career who cannot fulfil the 20-year criterion by the time they reach pension age.
