asked the Minister for Finance if he will state how many persons of the total number of persons receiving the whole amount of 10s. a week Old Age Pension it is estimated have no other source of income, direct or indirect, to look to but that pension.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - OLD AGE PENSIONERS' SOURCE OF INCOME.
I must refer the Deputy to the information already given by me on the 21st ultimo, in reply to Deputy Wilson, in the course of my statement on the introduction of the Second Stage of the Old Age Pensions Bill.
Arising out of that answer, does the Minister mean that the information was not in the office, and is not available in the Department?
It is not available unless the whole of the 115,000 pensioners cases are examined.
