🚍 Did You Work for Bus Éireann? Your Pension Could Hold New Possibilities
For years, a job with Bus Éireann offered stability, a steady income, and the security of a pension. But what happens when you’ve moved on — and your pension is sitting untouched?
If you’re over 50 and no longer working with Bus Éireann, you may be eligible to unlock your preserved pension early — giving you access to a tax-free lump sum and the ability to take greater control of your retirement planning.
đź’Ľ What Is a Preserved Pension?
If you worked with Bus Éireann and left the company before reaching retirement age, your pension is likely now “preserved” — meaning it’s sitting in the background, waiting until you’re 65 or older.
But in 2025, more and more former public sector and semi-state employees are choosing to transfer that preserved pension into a Personal Retirement Bond (PRB).
