Was informative, patient and laid out everything in a comprehensive and easy format . Courteous and very good at explaining the more complex aspects of state pensions .
Very good at follow up and conscientious with regard to making sure any ‘loose ends ‘ are tied up

Re setting up AVC
Evun Downes was excellent in all aspects of his dealings with us regarding setting up an AVC
Could not compliment him higher

What a pleasure it was to deal with a true professional regarding the best financial advice for retirement.
Tom was great in giving advice on AVCs how they work now, and how they will work when I retire down the road.
Ryan also had excellant advice and knowledge on mortages and the best rates and deals moving forward.

Very friendly service, straightforward information and quick response.

I would like if more information/expertise was available about ethical investment options.

My engagement with IPF was very positive. I had put-off arranging my long term retirement plans for several years but since I've now gone through the process and initiated a plan for my future, I feel a sense of relief. The advisor was excellent, very patient and explained the entire process and provided a lot of clarity to matters I was unfamiliar with.

It has been nice working with them, and they continue to follow up on all aspects of my fancial journey. My monthly savings, AVC and spending

My recent review with lrish Pensuons and finance was exceptional. I was given options and time to think these through,absolutely no pressure and l felt confident in making my decision to trust their obvious superior knowledge and years of experience. I feel confident that l went with the best.

Angie helped me with this AVC
so far it’s good

Pleasure working with Camila, very helpful.

I was contacted about a 1 to 1 follow up, and agreed a time to meet. They were very flexible, as was a bit late joining, and the session was tweaked to make the most of our time, that was really appreciated. Very good, useful and practical information.

Leah gave excellent financial advice and responded to any queries I had in a timely manner.

I spoke with Ian Garvey about AVCs and finances generally and I found him to be really good. He was knowledgeable, factual and wasn't pushy. I felt confident that the advice he provided was accurate and professional.

Very helpful with pensions, life insurance and overall picture of our finances.

I always had difficulty understanding all the jargon around pensions.a couple of years ago through a recommendation from a work colleague i got in touch with Ian Garvey from IPF pensions.all i can say is Ian has to be the most patient person i have ever dealt with.he explains everything simply and clearly.He answers my many emails and calls.I know im in safe hands with Ian.would recommend him to anyone

Michelle provided comprehensive information regarding the services I inquired about, including AVC and retirement planning. Her explanations were clear, concise, and factual. I also appreciate the annual updates she provides.

I deal with Charlotte Maher and always recommend her to my colleagues. A few have signed up to AVCs after dealing with Charlotte. She makes everything so easy to understand. Highly recommend.

Working with Keith Waters was very positive. He came across as very knowledgeable in areas of investment and pension needs. He responded in a timely manner when I made contact.

Dates of experience: ongoing since May 2025.

Good experience

I'm retiring shortly and had no idea how i was fixed with regard to my pension. I dealt with Thomas Livingston and in two consults he had me sorted and explained every step. Then he followed up to make sure I was happy with everything. Great service and I would definitely recommend

I dealt with Camila Munoz Garcia in relation to current and future options on my current AVC policy. She put together excellent review options going forward plus guided me in respect of a top up of contributions in advance of tax deadline. Total satisfaction and will be back in touch in the new year for a further discussion.
