Not Germany they have a proper system ,The government in Germany look after the people who worked all of there life they even have a system for looking after people who have paid in for 35 years can retire at 63 if they can no longer do this kind of work because of there age,Could you be better off emigrating to work Germany or the Uk if you had worked for 20 years in Ireland but want to maximize your state pension? you could then use discredits toward the foreign pension claim
5% tax if you own a property there if you can move there part time 4 years before you retire,New plan so, I wonder what about Portugal
Thanks for all the replies, I have made voluntary contributions in England to bring up my contributions and it is a relief to know I can claim the contributory pension in the two countries.
I'm not judging anyone but I am puzzled. How can someone have worked and contributed enough over the required time in 2 countries to get 2 full pensions?
You can have a full UK pension and a 98% Irish providing you have sufficient contributions in both countries.
Can you make PRSI (or equivalent) contributions in two countries at the same time?Well you can continue to pay voluntary contributions after leaving a country, upon meeting certain requirements.
The UK allow you to pay voluntary contributions as long as you had lived / worked there for at least 3 years prior to leaving.
Ireland allow you to opt to pay voluntary contributions but only if you have already paid 520 weekly contributions.
Can you make PRSI (or equivalent) contributions in two countries at the same time?

Stopping work at age 65, then having to sign on... who are these people?
