Episode Description

Ireland faces a looming "pensions timebomb", with the ratio of workers to over-65s set to more than halve by 2065 without policy reform. That was the warning from officials at the Department of Finance in their appearance before the Oireachtas housing committee yesterday.

To discuss this further Anton spoke to Dr Emma Howard, Economist and Lecturer at TU Dublin.
