Irish emigrants who have worked and/or lived overseas may have saved into a supplementary occupational or private pension during their period abroad. As such, Irish emigrants planning to return to Ireland on a permanent basis may be in a position to access these pension savings, transfer their pension fund to Ireland or leave the pension fund abroad and continue to make tax-relieved contributions to it. In such cases returning emigrants will need to be cognisant of the rules, regulations and requirements applying to, among other things, the transfer of pension savings in both the country they are leaving and those of Ireland.

Daoine a thagann ó thíortha neamh-LEE Níl aon choinníollacha náisiúntachta bainteach le scéimeanna árachais shóisialaigh nó cúnaimh shóisialta na hÉireann. Baineann coinníoll gnáthchónaithe, áfach, i gcás roinnt scéimeanna cúnaimh shóisialta agus do shochar linbh.

I ngach cás eile, d’fhéadfadh náisiúnaigh thíortha eile bheith i dteideal íocaíocht a fháil má shásaíonn siad an ranníocaíocht chéanna agus coinníollacha eile a bhaineann le náisiúnaigh na hÉireann.
