SIM-swap Fraud
Irish phone users have been targeted by SIM-swap fraud. In this type of fraud, criminals trick your mobile phone service providers into transferring your phone number to a new SIM card they control. This allows them to intercept messages, including one-time passwords for online accounts, and potentially gain unauthorised access to financial and other accounts. AIB reports that fraudsters may contact the phone provider and request a new SIM card with the user's number, using it to receive one-time passcodes sent from the bank to authorize payments. Financial institutions should reconsider using SMS or, at the very least, SMS-only as the default method for sensitive authentication

Supplementary Pension
If a teacher retires before age 66, the DES will pay an additional amount of pension – known as a ‘supplementary pension’ – until s/he reaches age 66. The supplement ensures that the teacher does not suffer a financial shortfall in the interval between retirement from school and reaching age 66.
