Because they did it already? Aren’t we the second highest after Denmark?
You are never getting that state pension if you worked for it.
They’ll end up means testing it
The people who are acting responsibly today and putting away a few pound for their future will get shafted, while those pissing away every penny they have will be looked after
Same old story
Setting down the foundations for the next election?
In other words, he will continue to hike PRSI for the working population so that people in their 60’s can retire a year early
Should just move it in smaller increments annually.
It’s not really a secret that basically no European country will be able to afford to pay for a state pension in the coming decades. Pension auto enrollment needed to be brought in 10 years ago to address this, not delayed at the whims of employers
Cowards
Start a pension now lads. If your work offers it, do it. If it doesn’t, look at setting up a private one and doing voluntary contributions once a year.
It’s the most cost efficient method of investing this country offers.
Paschal and FG have given up doing the right thing – I had great hopes with his background he would be the solution to sorting out our public sector waste and out of control spending but this is the final evidence he’s given up . Dumping a huge pile of manure in 10 years time to current 30-40 year olds ….
Next week…
Large increase to standard working week, now up to 52 hours under this Government, Paschal Donohoe promises. Does not apply to those born before 1/1/1976.
It’s incredible how many people think that the state pension is some kind of fund that they have paid into via taxation and will be available to cover their retirement in full.
And not just paid for annually by current working taxpayers, who may not be able to afford to handover as much money to you by the time you hope to retire.
The future numbers for state and public sector pensions get bleak when you look at the aging population. Some future governments are going to struggle with it.
That’s code for – Pension age increase coming soon…
What’s interesting I find is that increasing the pension age is not actually that popular when polled with younger people, who then go on to pay for it through PRSI increases (a highly visible impact linked directly to the pension age) and funding not being available to other areas (a less visible or linked impact).
Ultimately if life expectency increases, we either work longer or fund a longer retirement. As birth rates fall, we then rely on fewer working age people to pay for it for every retiree. So their taxes go up, or the services for other things (say, childcare) can’t be funded to the same level, or the benefits to retirees get slowly eroded (e.g. means testing pension or erosion via inflation in real terms).
It’s not rocket science, it’s the outcome of a policy decision that is broadly popular (people not being forced to work into their late 60s)
Fair enough at the moment as our situation is actually fairly good compared to most EU countries, but it’s coming down the tracks. There’s not going to be any way out of raising the pension in age in the long run.
They will end up having to means test it as they won’t be able to afford it in the coming decades, which means, as per usual, the folks being smart and saving will be shafted and the folks who never saved or worked will be entitled to it.
Didn’t he also promise to scrap the USC?
