The Government has agreed to keep the State pension age at 66 and that companies will not be allowed to force people to retire, the Taoiseach has said,
Last October, the Pension Commissions recommendation was that the pension age should gradually rise to 67 before 2031, and 68 by 2039.
But now the Taoiseach strongly signalled this will not go ahead and indicated people who work until they are 67 and older are in line for a higher rate of the State pension.
