Green Paper Submission

April 08

I would like to make the following submissions:

1. Women who were forced to resign from Semi-State companies when they got married should now be entitled to a pension in their own right and not be means-tested on their husband’s income/pension or savings.
2. That staff who were employed in Semi-State companies before 1995 and were prevented from paying the full rate of PRSI and were paying the reduced rate which was of no benefit should now get credit at the rate of one year’s full contribution for every four years reduced rate thereby entitling them to benefits on reaching sixty five years of age.
