Fine Gael pledge to introduce pension transition payment to ensure over 65s won't have to claim the dole

Fine Gael has promised to introduce a pension transition payment for those who want to retire at 65, meaning they would not have to seek jobseeker's allowance while waiting for the state pension.

"If pensions are going to be sustainable into the future, we will need to increase the pension age along with life expectancy." "We recognise that so we are going to re-introduce a pensions pathway or transition payments, that does not have the conditions attached like the jobseeker's payment to the habitual residency rule, because we know that pensioners want to travel and they should be allowed travel."

Meanwhile, Fine Gael has said it is sticking with making Brexit a key part of its re-election strategy, despite a poll published on Saturday showing a 12-point drop in support for the party.
