Researchers examined whether soon-to-be pensioners will have adequate income in retirement.
The pension has only increased by a little over €7 in the last 10 years.
An increase in the State pension of €5 per week was the much heralded measure the Government announced today.
The findings result from a new poll conducted by Amárach Research for Claire Byrne Live.
A new study has found that the number in receipt of these payments are just a little or below the number in the work force.
Public Expenditure and Reform Minister Brendan Howlin has insisted today that the parameters of the budget adjustment in October have not yet been set.
If the pension was cut by €10 a week, it could save up to €300m, greatly reducing the country’s Budget deficit. But is it worth it?
Éamon Ó Cuív says nothing is safe in next month’s Budget – while Michael Lowry says a pension cut won’t pass the Dáil.
