I have read some online articles suggesting that the EU wanted to make pensions more portable between member states; does anyone know whether this is in fact a reality?
Yes but not in the way you are thinking!!! If you move to an other EU state or one of the other three countries involved in the free movement of peoples bi-laterals then it is possible to have the majority your pension contributions moved from an Irish employer's scheme to the scheme of your new employer. But from a practical point of view that is about it.
Also depending on where you are going and how the new employer handles your move into their fund, you can gain or loose a lot in the process.

I will be working for a UK company (but based in Ireland) from about October, this might help?
(on the other hand, I don't want to be exposed to the currency risk of having my pension fund in GBP and my outgoings in EUR)
