The Hard Shoulder

"It's a failure of success for government."

Younger workers face paying an extra €2,500 in taxes so state pension age will stay at 66 years of age. The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council have said people no in their 20s, 30s and 40s will foot the bill for Ireland’s growing number of retirees, which is estimated to rise by 50pc by 2040. Kieran was joined by Seamus Boland, CEO of Irish Rural Link and Caillum Hedderman, Environmentalist & Social Activist to discuss what this means for younger generations.
