Athlone's Conor King, RACO Secretary General says retention will become a bigger issue.
Emergency workers and soldiers are calling for fairer pension treatment.
Since 2013, the public sector pension scheme means frontine workers won't be able to access the state pension until 66.
However, many are forced to retire between 55 and 62 due to the nature of their roles - meaning they face years without a supplement.
