Dear Minister,

I urge you to remove the Universal Social Charge (USC) from occupational pensions in Budget 2027.

Occupational pensions are deferred earnings, not wages. Pensioners have already contributed to the State throughout their working lives and should not continue to be penalised through USC in retirement.

This is an issue of fairness and equal treatment. Many pensioners are living on fixed incomes and have no opportunity to increase their earnings. Removing USC from occupational pensions would recognise their lifetime contribution and help protect their standard of living.

I respectfully ask you to support this measure in the forthcoming Budget.

Yours sincerely,

[Your Name]

Our Pension issue was raised in the Dàil today by Paul Murphy TD

04/07/2026

Mr Mc Redmond said in the 2025 Annual Report that last year there was a “phenomenal rise in parcel volumes”.

The €209.49 million pension cost arose from An Post last September approving a benefit increase for around 7,000 retired workers at An Post where the pensioners received a seven per cent increase in their pensions in two phases in 2025.

Referring to the exceptional pension fund cost, McRedmond - who steps down after 10 years in the role later this Summer - said that the acheme surplus at December 31st 2025 is €316 millioni, following a reinstatement of members’ benefits which resulted in an exceptional charge in the year of €209m.

He has some brass neck.....given that An Post is paying reduced contributions to the fund and that the Unions agreed to them
paying NOTHING into the fund for a period of time.

Update from POPU Leadership Team

As our WhatsApp group closes for the summer from **1st July until 1st September**, the POPU Leadership Team would like to sincerely thank every one of you for your dedication, encouragement and unwavering support. Because of your commitment, our campaign has gone from strength to strength.

While we pause, the campaign continues. We are still awaiting the Department of Communications' response to the correspondence from the Oireachtas Committee, and we also await a reply from the Chair of the Trustees regarding the election protocols for Pension Fund Trustees. We firmly believe the time has come for a fair, transparent and democratic process. It is no longer acceptable that the Group of Unions alone appoint representatives to the Board of Trustees.

The Leadership Team will meet in early September to review all developments and determine the next phase of our campaign.

Until then, we wish you and your families a wonderful, safe and restful summer. If the opportunity arises, please continue to raise our pension issue with your local TDs. Every conversation helps keep our campaign alive.

We have come too far to turn back. Together, we will continue to seek the fair treatment and dignity that **ALL** retirees deserve.

**POPU Abú!**

**TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER**
