APC’s Galway History: What Happened?

APC had a significant presence in Ballybrit Business Park, Galway, operating a manufacturing facility that employed hundreds. Around 2006, the company announced a restructuring that led to many job losses and a partial closure of the site. Some roles moved to their Castlebar location, while others left the company entirely.

This means if you left APC in Galway during or after that period, your occupational pension was likely preserved but remained invested until retirement.

What Is a Preserved Pension?

A preserved pension is a retirement fund you’ve earned but left behind when you changed jobs or the company closed. Your money stays invested, growing over time, but you typically can’t access it until your normal retirement age—usually between 60 and 65.

However, Irish pension rules allow people aged 50 or over to transfer preserved pensions into a Personal Retirement Bond (PRB), which may let you unlock your pension earlier.

Why Review Your APC Pension Now?

  • Unlock Early From Age 50: Financial flexibility before traditional retirement age.

  • Consolidate Multiple Pensions: If you worked elsewhere after APC, you might have several pensions scattered around.

  • Simplify Your Retirement Planning: Managing one pension pot is easier and can reduce fees.
