With Ireland’s Auto Enrolment pension scheme due to launch in January 2026, Campion Insurance is warning that many employers are dangerously underprepared. Payroll errors, compliance risks, and employee confusion are looming unless businesses act now. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Ivan Dunne, Head of Financial Services at Campion Insurance. The yawning gap in the pension provision between men and women has been exposed. The average Irish woman’s pension pot is a “staggering” 40pc less than men’s. An average pension pot for a man in Ireland is €102,000. But it is only €60,500 for women, according to research by the Irish-owned network of financial advisers Ask Acorn. Also joining Alan on Thursday's Morning Focus is Hilary Tonge, Former Social Democrats General Election Candidate. PHOTO CREDIT: Picture (c) ADragan from Getty Images via Canva.com News
