At Q Financial Advisors, we’re based right here in Claregalway, and we recently ran a feature in the Tuam Herald to raise awareness about pension unlocking options in Galway County. We’re now extending that message to our online readers — especially locals looking for professional, regulated advice.


🔍 Who Can Unlock Their Pension in Galway or Tuam?

If you:

  • Are aged 50 or over

  • Have left your old job (in Tuam, Galway, or surrounding areas)

  • Had a pension with that employer

  • Are not currently contributing to that scheme

Then you may be eligible to access 25% of your fund tax-free and consider other retirement options based on your situation.
