CANADA LIFE yesterday came out as a strong supporter for Government proposals to consider an SSIA type incentive to encourage people to start providing for their retirement in a pension plan.

PENSIONS and investments firm Canada Life has booked a 45% increase in premium sales in the six months to the end of December 2004.

ALMOST 500,000 Special Savings Incentive Account (SSIA) holders can make a killing over the next 18 months by increasing their monthly contributions to the €254 maximum allowed.

Estate agent Gunne Residential has appointed Declan Cassidy as its new managing director.
