Have your say: Is raising PRSI to fund pensions fair on younger workers?

Workers can retire at 66 but they will have choice of working until 70 in return for a higher pension

A new ‘flexible’ system for the State pension will see working-age people pay more in PRSI through their lives. For older workers the prospect of retiring at 66 remains in sight but they will have choice of working until 70 in return for a higher pension.

Tell us how will you be impacted by this decision? Does the idea of younger workers paying more PRSI over their lifetimes for a pension at 66 seem fair? Would you work until aged 70 for an extra €60 per week on retirement?
