I've been on to Eagle Star and, understandably, they will only discuss the policy with my husband, who isn't great with figures and anyway isn't here at the moment! My problem is, I've been telling him for a while now that he really needs to put more into the pension fund (he's now 57),that it'll be worth the effort. He's on standard rate tax so I'm beginning to wonder if it really is the best thing to do (he's low income, as he's had to gradually cut back his working hours). Could I assume that the Pension fund is still better than, say, a regular saver account with Anglo Irish at 5.5%?
