General election 2020: Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin says that his party will ‘review’ the decision of raising the pension age to 67 if he gets to be the next Taoiseach




Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin has said that his party will ‘review’ the decision to raise the pension age to 67, on the condition that he gets to be Taoiseach.

The pension issue is quickly becoming a debacle typical of the Irish government, with ‘transition payments’ being discussed for those in the private sector, while public servants will still be able to retire at 65.

Meanwhile, it is widely expected that older voters will be promised a raise of €5 a week in their pensions, in an attempt to cheaply buy their vote.
