Thousands of An Post workers are set to see their pension jump by 2 per cent this year.
The increase, which was due to come into effect on January 1, had been "disgracefully" delayed following worries about the long-term viability of An Post's pension scheme. However, workers will benefit after Public Expenditure Minister Michael McGrath approved the payment.
The payment has been backdated to January 2022 following the signoff, the Irish Examiner reports. The news comes after retired An Post staff staged protests for the increase.
