An Oireachtas committee has said it rejects the Pensions Commission recommendation that the retirement age increase beyond 66.
It also wants mandatory retirement clauses in contracts to be banned.
The Pensions Commission found the current State pension system isn't sustainable.
Chair of the Social Protection Committee Denis Naughten has denied the recommendation not to increase the pension age is politically motivated:
"The Commission presented government with four packages, they did go for, for preference for the one that increased the pension age. And we're going for one that doesn't involve increasing the pension age but the recommendation comes from the commission itself."
