As far back as 1996, the Irish Government launched a National Pensions
Policy Initiative (NPPI) in response to a survey which had found that
only 46% of the working population was covered under formal pension arrangements.
The Irish Pensions Board was given the task of progressing the Initiative
and as a first step issued a consultation document which invited submissions
from interested parties. The National Pensions Policy Initiative report
was then issued and its far reaching recommendations are due to emerge
in the form of legislation later this year.
