The Pensions Working Group is expected to submit a post consultation report to the government next month, it was announced yesterday.
The government said it considered the European Commission’s White Paper on ‘An Agenda For Adequate, Se And Sustainable Pensions’ published on Thursday “as a means of supporting the continuing reform of the pension system”.
It noted that reforming the pension system had been a priority for the government for over a decade.
The Pensions Working Group conducted an “intensive” consultation process and met with various stakeholders last year, the government said.
