PRSAs
If you don’t have access to a pension through work, a Personal Retirement Savings Account (PRSA) could be the right option for you. It’s a cost efficient pension plan that virtually anyone can take out, to build up a fund for retirement. You can also save tax (up to 49%*) on the contributions you make to your PRSA.
Every €1 you save for your retirement could mean nearly €2* working for you
