    I work in Ireland for a UK company, I was based over there with them for a number of years before moving to an office here.
    My pension is still over there and I'm wondering whether I should be moving it to Ireland, very hard to know with Brexit but I'll be taking a big hit with the sterling rate at the moment.
    Pension not due to mature until 2046 I think

    I don't know but I'm similar to you but closer to retirement! I've left my UK pension in the UK. Not sure if it's the right thing to do but I'm happy leaving it.
    But my company now pay an Irish pension for me here so I've got both.
    Would your company set up an Irish pension now for you as you are here?
    I wouldn't like to relay on an exchange rate when the time comes to pay out your pension payments.

    Is it a private pension or are you talking about the UK state pension?
