A tiered pensions system that will come into effect in January 2024 has been announced by the Government.
It will see 66-year-olds given €253 per week, 67-year-olds given €266, 68-year-olds given €281, 69-year-olds given €297 and those aged 70 and over given €315.
The issue of whether to increase the pension age has come up frequently since dominating the February 2020 election.
