asked the Minister for Finance if he is aware that the old age pension granted to Mrs. Margaret Tiernan, Inchmore, Glasson, Athlone, has been reduced by four shillings per week; that her only means of income is two acres of land on the island, which is, during two-thirds of the year, covered with water; and whether he will, owing to the hardship which this reduction will cause to this pensioner, reconsider the case.
