State pension age legislation

Summary

Willie O’Dea seeks the promised legislation changing arrangements for people claiming State pensions at 65; the Taoiseach has no date but will refer back to him.

When can we expect the legislation which will change the system for people who are applying for State pensions at the age of 65 years?

Is it promised legislation?

It was promised by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform to Mr. Jack O'Connor in a letter dated 9 October. I can quote from the letter if you wish.
