asked the Minister for Finance whether he is aware that there is some doubt amongst retired civil servants, retired postal workers and resigned and dismissed R.I.C. men as to the classes of persons who will receive increases in their pensions; and, if so, whether he will make a statement on the matter and state the basis of the proposed increases.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Increases in Pensions.
I would refer the Deputy to the Financial Statement made in Dáil Éireann on 4th May, 1949, column 470, Volume 115, No. 4. Details as to the classes to benefit and the increases proposed will be shown in the Bill which I hope to have in the hands of Deputies next week.
