More than 2,500 over-65s on jobseeker's each year: Dept

However, the Department has no records for how many over-65s were denied benefit because they were not fully available for work.

Susan Redmond from Clondalkin in Dublin was told she had to retire from her health sector job almost three years ago when she reached the age of 65.Susan said she wanted to work for a further year, until she was 66, but she was told it was not possible to continue in the role on the same terms and conditions.

That Dept is a kaw unto itself...Russia 1936 isnt in it...Run by Nazi's

How LUCKY !

Spooky how Ireland reproduces English policy so totally. You'd think they never got Independence.

This is a disgraceful situation that ordinary citizens always knew about but our esteemed politicians either were not aware of or didn’t care. After a lifetime of paying taxes it is appalling that citizens have to endure the process of means tested allowances 😡
