The Sustainability of our Pension System

How sustainable is our pension system?

Posted January 22nd, 2014

Last year, the Government requested the OECD to conduct a focussed review of Ireland’s pension policy. The resulting report, which you can read here, examined the pension system in Ireland (state, private, occupational & public sector) and provided a number of recommendations for long-term reform. I raised the implementation of these recommendations with Minister Burton in the Dáil  and you can read her response here.
