IAPF: Rise in state pension age to 67 "highly concerning and demeaning" for Ireland's older population

Tens of thousands of workers turning 65 this year may be forced to claim jobseekers allowance for two years as the new age of eligibility for the state pension rises from 66 to 67.

The Irish Association of Pension Funds has said the situation is "highly concerning and demeaning" for Ireland's older population.
