Question:123 Mr. McGrath asked the Minister for Defence if all retired Defence Forces personnel and the widows of Defence Force personnel who retired after 1978 were written to after 1985 when a further option was available to them to join the widows and children contributory pension scheme; if so, if they were again required to opt out of the scheme in writing on that occasion; and if they were deemed to have joined the scheme if they did not opt out in writing at that time.
