1683. Deputy Pa Daly asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will review the mandatory retirement age in order to allow fit and willing firefighters to extend their service to 66 years-of-age; if he will examine the implementation of voluntary fitness-based assessments to ensure that capability, rather than an arbitrary age ceiling, is used in determining a firefighter's fitness for duty; and if he will ensure protection of pension structures in order that those who choose to serve longer are fairly recognised and not structurally penalised.
