Tanaiste Leo Varadkar has said having a particular pension age where people have to retire is out of date.
It comes as Taoiseach Micheal Martin told his Fianna Fail party colleagues that he doesn’t think the pension age should go beyond 66 and greater flexibility is needed so people could be allowed to continue to work if they want to do so.
The Pension Commission report published last October said that the State pension age should rise by three months each year from 2028 until it hits 67 in 2031.
