Deputy Brady, we are following the example of Deputy Jan O'Sullivan.

As we sit here this afternoon, many are being forced into taking retirement against their will. Not only are they forced into retirement, they are forced onto a jobseeker's payment which is grossly unfair. The Taoiseach will be well aware that in February last a Bill came before this House to abolish the mandatory retirement age. It has gone through pre-committee scrutiny. We are waiting on a money message from the Taoiseach. When will that money message be delivered because it is grossly unfair that people are being forced into taking retirement against their will and onto a jobseeker's payment? When will the money message come and will the Taoiseach commit to abolish the mandatory retirement age?

I will have to check that out. It is not to say it is not in the system, but I have not seen the request come across my desk yet for a money message on that Bill. It is important, once again, to state that there is no mandatory retirement age in Ireland. People are free to work well into their 60s, 70s and 80s, if they so wish, and many do.

Clearly, not many.

However, sometimes employment contracts require workers to retire from a particular job and, obviously, changing somebody's employment contract can be difficult to do in law.
