Pensioners will not have to work past 66 years of age, the Government will announce today.
It means the plan to have people work longer until they are 67 and longer before receiving any pension payments after a long life’s work has been abandoned.
Instead, a compromise has been reached, where people can choose to work until 70 if they like, in return for a higher pension, up to €15 a week more according to sources last night.
