Irish retirees at risk of losing UK pension payments over Brexit
Pension payments being made to thousands of people in this country are threatened by Britain’s plans to pull out of the European Union, it has emerged.
The issue is a huge risk to the pension payments of people who worked in the UK and get either a UK state pension, a British private pension or both.
And it is likely to affect people who worked in Northern Ireland but live in the Republic and receive a sterling pension.
Around 120,000 people here are in receipt of a British state pension, having worked in the UK in the past. It is not known how many also get private pensions from Britain. The issue will also affect British people who have retired here.
