In the latest episode of the Matheson Employment Law Podcast Series, Bryan Dunne, Head of Employment, is joined by fellow partner and Head of Pensions, Lorcan Keenan and employment partner Ailbhe Dennehy to delve into the topic of mandatory retirement in the workplace.  The podcast looks at this issue from both an employment law and pensions law perspective.

This discussion addresses the 2024 Supreme Court decision in Mallon v The Minister for Justice, which appears to make implementing a mandatory retirement age more straightforward for employers. It also consider the pending legislation intended to regulate the use of mandatory retirement clauses and whether there is any major change for employers in this.
