Commitment

Restore the right to retire on the State pension at 65

What this means

  • Sinn Féin is a political party that made this promise in its November 2024 general election manifesto.[source]
  • The commitment is to restore the right for people to retire and receive the State pension at age 65, rather than waiting until a later age.[source]
  • This falls under social protection policy and directly affects workers who wish to stop working at 65 and access their State pension immediately.[source]
  • The promise has no stated deadline for delivery, which makes it harder for the public to hold the party to account on timing.[source]
  • As of now the commitment remains at the promised stage only, meaning no action has been recorded beyond the manifesto pledge.[source]
