Making Way Pay

A strong economy must deliver for the people who power it every day. Section dealing with Pay and Tax from the National Economic Dialogue 2026 Opening Remarks by Tánaiste and Minister for Finance, Published on: 15th June 2026.

Making Way Pay for workers, families, entrepreneurs and communities.

That means ensuring that work pays.

Good progress has been made in recent years in reducing the burden of taxation on workers.

Successive Budgets have increased the point at which workers enter the higher rate of income tax, helping people keep more of what they earn.

But we do need to do more.

As we prepare Budget 2027, we will consider further increases in that threshold as a practical way of ensuring wage growth translates into higher take-home pay.

This is about supporting people who work hard, contribute to their communities, raise families and keep our economy moving.

Because economic progress must be felt not only in headline statistics, but in people’s pay packets and in their daily lives.

Keep this in mind when Budget 2027 is announced.

Employment (Contractual Retirement Ages) Act 2025.What is changingThe Employment (Contractual Retirement Ages) Act 2025 ...
16/06/2026

Employment (Contractual Retirement Ages) Act 2025.

What is changing
The Employment (Contractual Retirement Ages) Act 2025 creates a new employment right that allows eligible employees to notify their employer that they do not consent to retire at the contractual retirement age where this is lower than the State pension age of 66. Employees are not obliged to remain in employment beyond their contractual retirement age if they do not wish to do so.

Employers must consider any notifications received under the 2025 Act. This new law creates a higher legal threshold for employers if they propose to enforce the contractual retirement age.

The Act comes into force from 29 June 2026.

Who is eligible
Some employment contracts have set contractual retirement ages of 65 or under. If this applies to you (and you have completed your probation), then you are eligible for this new right.

If your retirement age is 66 or higher, or if it is set by law (for example, An Garda Síochána, Defence Forces), then you are not eligible for this new right.

The Workplace Relations Commission’s (WRC) updated Code of Practice on Longer Working will provide guidance to help employees and employers understand how this new employment right works in practice. It will contain key practical information including templates for employers and employees to use. This Code of Practice is available on Irish Statute Book - SI No 246 of 2026 (PDF) and takes effect from 29 June 2026.

How do employees avail of this right
If you want to avail of this new right, you must notify your employer in writing that you do not consent to be retired.

You must do this:

at least 3 months but not more than one year before your contractual retirement date, or
if your contract requires a longer notice period than 3 months, you must give either this amount or 6 months' notice, whichever is shorter
You must also include the legal basis for your notification, as set out in section 5(1) of the Employment (Contractual Retirement Ages) Act 2025.

You can avail of this new right on or after 29 June 2026. Considering the minimum notification period of 3 months, a contractual retirement date of 29 September 2026 is the earliest to which the Act applies.

Detailed guidance will be provided in the WRC Code of Practice, as well as templates for notifying your employer.

What protections are there if employees are not covered by the 2025 Act
You are protected by existing employment equality legislation, which prohibits discrimination on nine grounds including age. Therefore, the termination of employment because of age could be construed as discrimination under the legislation. Section 34(4) of the Employment Equality Act 1998 states as follows:

“(4) Without prejudice to subsection (3) it shall not constitute discrimination on the age ground to fix different ages for the retirement (whether voluntary or compulsorily) of employees or any class or description of employees if—

(i) it is objectively and reasonably justified by a legitimate aim, and

(ii) the means of achieving that aim are appropriate and necessary.”

The WRC Code of Practice on Longer Working will provide key guidance for you if you wish to work longer and are 66 or over or are otherwise not covered under the 2025 Act.

What employers must do when an employee notifies under the 2025 Act
You must consider any notifications received under the 2025 Act. This new law creates a higher legal threshold if you propose to enforce the contractual retirement age.

You cannot require an employee to retire unless you can justify this decision.

If you decide an employee must retire, you must:

reply in writing within 1 month
explain the reasons for the decision to enforce the contractual retirement age
objectively and reasonably justify the retirement of the employee concerned by a legitimate aim and that the means of achieving that aim is appropriate and necessary
Guidance will be provided in the WRC Code of Practice, as well as a template policy guideline document for a business.

Where you accept an employee’s notification request, arrangements should be made to reflect the employee’s continuation in employment in their contract of employment.

How employers can prepare
You may wish to:

ensure you are familiar with current contractual retirement ages within your organisation
update procedures manuals / employee handbooks to reflect the new procedures around employee notifications and responses in line with the new legislation
acquaint yourself with the requirement for objective justification and using means that are appropriate and necessary to achieve legitimate aims in enforcing retirement policy in an organisation
consider providing training to HR or line managers on their new obligations
maintain good records from engagements with employees on notifications as well as any consultations or advice sought.

National Financial Literacy Strategy Annual Review and Action Plan for 2026–2027.

Some of the actions are supported here by BPPM and through our group Payroll Matters in Ireland by way of "Communications to support public understanding of pension auto-enrolment and;
Awareness of scams and fraud".

Tánaiste Simon Harris launches National Financial Literacy Strategy Annual Review and Action Plan for 2026–2027
From: Department of Finance

Published on: 10 June 2026
Last updated on: 10 June 2026
The Tánaiste and Minister for Finance, Simon Harris TD, today launched the National Financial Literacy Strategy Annual Review and Action Plan 2026–2027, highlighting significant progress in helping people build the confidence, knowledge and skills needed to make informed financial decisions.

The Strategy aims to improve financial wellbeing and resilience by ensuring people are better equipped to navigate financial challenges, seize opportunities and plan for their own and their families’ future.

The new Action Plan contains more than 100 actions designed to further enhance financial confidence and resilience across society.

These actions focus on key areas including saving, pensions, fraud awareness and investing, while also supporting consumers in understanding new opportunities such as the Government’s planned Investment Account, will be announced as part of the upcoming Budget.

Annual Review

The Annual Review highlights strong progress during the first year of the Strategy.

Key achievements include:

The continued embedding of financial literacy through the new Primary Mathematics Curriculum;
More than 170,000 student engagements with financial literacy programmes and more nearly 2,000 individual sessions of financial literacy programmes delivered in schools
Approximately two million people reached through financial education initiatives across television, radio and print media.
Action Plan

The Action Plan for 2026–2027 builds on this momentum through a range of measures aimed at supporting people at every stage of life.

These include:

€200,000 in funding for financial literacy projects through the CCPC’s Collaboration and Innovation Fund;
Updated internationally comparable data on financial literacy levels in Ireland;
A new monitoring and evaluation toolkit;
Communications to support public understanding of pension auto-enrolment and;
Awareness of scams and fraud.
Investment Account

A particular focus of the Action Plan is ensuring consumers have the knowledge and confidence to engage with savings and investment opportunities.

As part of this work, the Department of Finance is developing a roadmap to support the introduction of the Government’s planned Investment Account in the upcoming Budget.

Speaking at the Rotunda Hospital today, the Tánaiste said:

“Every day, people are required to make increasingly complex financial decisions - from budgeting and saving, to preparing for retirement, protecting themselves from fraud and scams, and increasingly, understanding how to invest.

“Financial literacy is much more than just understanding money. It is about confidence. It is about empowerment. It is about giving people the tools to make informed decisions and take control of their financial future.

“I am proud of the progress highlighted in this Annual Review. Over the past year, we have seen financial literacy become more deeply embedded in our schools, more people engaging with financial education programmes and millions of people reached through awareness initiatives across the country.

“That progress matters because behind every statistic is a person who feels more confident managing their finances, planning for the future and making decisions that are right for themselves and their family.

“But our ambition must be greater still. The Action Plan we are launching today contains more than 100 actions designed to strengthen financial confidence and resilience, support people at every stage of life and ensure that financial opportunity is open to everyone.”

The Tánaiste continued:

“Ireland has a strong culture of saving, and people work hard to provide security for themselves and their families.

“As we look to introduce the Investment Account, it is important that people have access to clear information, and can have the confidence they need to make decisions that are right for them.

“The Investment Account is about creating opportunity. Financial literacy is about ensuring people have the confidence to seize that opportunity.”

The National Financial Literacy Strategy is being implemented by the Department of Finance in close partnership with the Central Bank of Ireland and the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, with support from stakeholders across Government, education, financial services and civil society.
