AE, which the Government plans to launch early next year, is expected to capture 750,000 workers between the ages of 23 and 60 who are earning at least €20,000 a year but are not currently signed up to a workplace pension scheme. “It appears AE will be held to lower standards than the existing private system,” Insurance Ireland said last month. “The proposed AE system will not be an institution of occupational retirement provision or a Master Trust or indeed, a pension, and therefore it is not subject to any existing pension scheme legislation.”
