CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - TIPPERARY OLD AGE PENSION CLAIM.
DOMHNALL O MUIRGHEASA
This case has not been before me since 26th January, 1923, when the claimant's pension was reduced from 10/- to 8/- a week.
In accordance with the provisions of the Old Age Pensions Act, 1924, a reduction of one shilling a week (with the exceptions specified in the Act) has been made in old age pensions which were being paid prior to 20th June, 1924, pending a readjustment on the basis of the newly established scale which will take effect in the case of such pensions from the 5th September, 1924.
