The Daily PollPoll: Are you in favour of the automatic-enrolment pension scheme?
Government is currently considering recommendations regarding the plan.
WILL YOU OPT out?
This week the Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection published a report containing 21 recommendations for Government plans to develop an auto-enrolment pension scheme that would apply to around 750,000 workers between the ages of 23 and 60.
The government is currently preparing to put forward legislation for a universal pension scheme for everyone earning over a certain amount, which would see employee contributions matched by their employer, with a further top-up from the State.
Workers will be able to opt out of the scheme.
