Employment (Contractual Retirement Ages) Bill 2025: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2025-11-05
============================================================

Alan Dillon (FG), Mayo

I thank the Deputy and the Opposition for supporting the general scheme of the Bill. No amendments have been tabled on Report Stage. We welcome the Deputy's engagement and contribution.
In general terms, the intent is that employees continuing in employment past the age of 65 should, where possible, be treated in the same way as colleagues below that age. We understand the challenges around the income gap experienced by a person required to retire at an age lower than that at which the State pension can be accessed. That is a key objective of the Bill. Indeed, we are very supportive in that regard.
I thank everyone for their contributions in the House. Without further ado, we look forward to moving it to the Seanad.
