- etothepii 4y agoThese won't be "defined benefit" schemes but defined contribution schemes much more akin to your 401(k)
- lotsofpulp 4y agoIn the UK (and I assume Ireland), the term pension is used for more than just defined benefit pensions.
- astaunton 4y agoCorrect, most pensions in Ireland (these days) are defined contribution. Even within the civil service / government roles it is becoming extremely rare to see defined benefit schemes.
