Wed, 23 Jan 2019 17:10:09 GMT Ireland's ‘bizarre pensions landscape' criticised by industry leader https://www.paulryan.ie/Ireland’s_‘bizarre_pensions_landscape’_criticised_by_industry_leader/Default.391.html A good article in the Irish Times written by Tommy Neilsen in relation to proposals for simplification of pensions. It would lead to lower costs and better returns for people saving for pensions. Mon, 02 Jul 2018 10:56:41 GMT Finance Bill 2017 Impact On Pensions https://www.paulryan.ie/Finance_Bill_2017_Impact_On_Pensions/Default.389.html Finance Bill Impacts On Pensions. Nothing really to pick up in our view.

Remember we are still paying a lot of tax so please consider calling us as pension contributions offer a great alternative to reducing your tax bills! Wed, 12 Oct 2016 16:01:56 GMT Can the Irish Stock Exchange Attract British Firms? https://www.paulryan.ie/Can_the_Irish_Stock_Exchange_Attract_Briticsh_Firms/Default.383.html Good article in the Sunday Business Post on Brexit over the weekend. Our view is that there are more negatives than positives for Ireland around Brexit and its impacts on the Irish Economy. Fri, 16 Jun 2017 13:54:20 GMT New Buy Out Bond Options Announced By Minister https://www.paulryan.ie/New_Buy_Out_Bond_Options_Announced_By_Minister/Default.382.html The Minister has announced today some exciting news around the use of a Buy Out Bond which was previously a little restrictive when it came to transferring benefits out of a Defined Benefit pension. We are excited by this positive development as now the Buy Out Bond is open to everybody. A Buy Out Bond allows you to segregate your benefits out of your employers pension into your own individual pot which you can control. We would be delighted to chat to anybody interested in a Buy Out Bond, Thu, 23 Jun 2016 10:19:36 GMT Defined Benefit Pension Woes and Pitfalls https://www.paulryan.ie/Defined_Benefit_Pension_Woes_and_Pitfalls/Default.381.html Pramit Ghose in Merrion recently wrote about the "actual solvency" of DB Pension Schemes. We agree with his sentiments, clients need to be very careful about their DB Scheme. They should really be familiar with its solvency issues (if any) and ask the Trustees lots of questions about where they might stand in the event that the scheme is underfunded. Wed, 04 May 2016 11:18:28 GMT Being a Landlord: Does it Pay? (Damian Wilson of Irish Tax Support) https://www.paulryan.ie/Being_a_Landlord_Does_it_Pay_Damian_Wilson_of_Irish_Tax_Support/Default.380.html This is a good article we received today. It gives a run down on the tax implications of renting a home or room and is an excellent reference guide. The article is written for people who don't have a choice and have to rent a room or home. However if you have a choice between sitting a property into your pension we believe the best solution is to use a Self Administered Pension which we specialise in here in Paul Ryan. In our view this is far more tax efficient and makes total financial sense. Fri, 08 Apr 2016 8:22:19 GMT Bank of Ireland's life and pensions boss steps down (Sunday Business Post) https://www.paulryan.ie/Bank_of_Ireland’s_life_and_pensions_boss_steps_down_Sunday_Business_Post/Default.379.html Just something related to the pensions and investment industry that we spotted in the weekend papers. Sean Casey the Managing Director of New Ireland appears to have stepped down from his role. Mon, 04 Apr 2016 11:15:00 GMT Compulsory Retirement Age in the Workplace (Matheson News Article) https://www.paulryan.ie/Compulsory_Retirement_Age_in_the_Workplace_Matheson_News_Article/Default.378.html This is a great article by Matheson. An area that is only getting bigger in the coming years. When you have read this article consider your own situation. When are you due to retire? Is it 65? When is the state pension going to kick in for you? Maybe you retire at 65 but have to wait three years for your state pension to kick in? What will you do to bridge the gap? Maybe its time to give us a call and we can have a chat about pension options. Fri, 01 Apr 2016 9:11:04 GMT Anglo Pensions Blow Irish Times https://www.paulryan.ie/Anglo_Pensions_Blow_Irish_Times/Default.377.html Interesting piece in the Irish Times on pensions in Anglo. It is interesting to read into this a little more, not because of Anglo but more around the rules associated with group pensions currently. It gives you a good understanding on the rules pertaining to members of schemes and their priority, also the changing nature of pensions in Ireland around the Defined Benefit space most topical currently. Tue, 29 Mar 2016 14:24:30 GMT Pensions Authority 5 Year Plan - Mason Hayes & Curran Article https://www.paulryan.ie/Pensions_Authority_5_Year_Plan__Mason_Hayes__Curran_Article/Default.376.html A very good article today in from Mason Hayes & Curran which I think is worth reading on some of the changes coming along for the pensions industry. Mon, 14 Mar 2016 15:14:01 GMT Financial Times - UK Pension Changes https://www.paulryan.ie/Financial_Times__UK_Pension_Changes/Default.375.html It appears that given the Brexit discussion currently ongoing that George Osborne has held off on plans to scrap pension tax relief in the UK. We tend to watch closely what the UK are doing on pensions given our close association here in Ireland. In the past, some of the UK pension ideas have come across to Irish legislation. Therefore important to have an eye on the UK. Mon, 07 Mar 2016 12:56:21 GMT Sunday Business Post Article https://www.paulryan.ie/Sunday_Business_Post_Article/Default.374.html Interesting article in the Sunday Business post surveyed a number of Bloomberg Economists on their stance around UK exit of Euro. Expect a lot more to come from this over the coming year is our view here in Paul Ryan Mon, 07 Mar 2016 10:52:47 GMT
