General Scheme of the Employment (Restriction of Certain Mandatory Retirement Ages) Bill 2024: Discussion

Ms Mary Murphy:

I think it was immediate. There might be variation because Canada and Australia have different provinces within them so there will be different examples. In certain circumstances it would have just been all employees at a certain age. There would be exemptions in that certain sectors of work would be allowed continue have a mandatory retirement like defence forces, police and things like that, but they are different cases.
