A new report has suggest workers should be allowed to defer their retirement until they reach 75.
The State should be focusing on taking older people further away from the poverty line now, rather than trying to plan for events in the future.
That's according to the past president of Active Retirement Ireland, Multyfarnham's Anne Drury.
It comes as a new report suggests workers should be allowed defer their retirement until they reach 75.
That would be to allow them to make additional PRSI contributions and boost their pension.
Ms. Drury says if the current system is already broken, there's no point finessing it with a long term plan:
Choice should be a key factor when it comes to the state pension age, according to the Laois Chamber Alliance.
Chief Executive of the Laois Chamber Alliance, Caroline Hofman says having the option is important, particularly with an increased life expectancy:
