After a lifetime of work, Sinn Féin believe that a worker should be able to retire on the full pension rate of pay at 65, or continue to work if they choose to do so. 

Speaking on The Week in Politics last week Claire Kerrane TD said it is not just, to make people who have worked for 40, sometimes 50 years to work an extra year, or to rely on jobseeker’s allowance of €203 per week.

Ba cheart go gceadófaí d’oibrithe dul ar scor ar phinsean iomlán ag 65

Tar éis saolré oibre, creideann Sinn Féin gur chóir go mbeadh oibrí in ann dul ar scor ar an ráta pá pinsin iomlán ag 65, nó leanúint ar aghaidh ag obair má roghnaíonn siad é sin a dhéanamh. 

Ag labhairt di ar The Week in Politics an tseachtain seo caite, dúirt Claire Kerrane TD nach bhfuil i gceist ach daoine breise a chur ag obair ar feadh 40, uaireanta 50 bliain chun bliain bhreise a oibriú, nó a bheith ag brath ar liúntas cuardaitheora poist de € 203 in aghaidh na seachtaine.
