Tairgim go léifí an Bille athuair anois.
Tá soláthar á dhéanamh leis an mBille seo chun pinsin sheirbhíse agus pinsin mhíthreora is iníoctha faoi na hAchtanna um na Connaught Rangers (Pinsin), 1936 go 1957, a mhéadú sé faoin gcéad, is é sin, an céatadán iomchuí de réir scála na méaduithe le haghaidh pinsinéirí, i gcoitinne, a údaraíodh ag an Aire Airgeadais ina Ráiteas ar an gCáinaisnéis in Aibreán, 1959.
Tá éifeacht ag na méaduithe ón lú Lúnasa, 1959, agus tá siad á n-íoc ón lá sin i leith ar údarás Meastacháin Bhreise a ritheadh sa Teach seo ar an 22ú Iúil, 1959.
Mura mian le haon Teachta tagairt a dhéanamh do phointe áirithe, ní dóigh liom gur gá a thuilleadh a rá i dtaobh an Bhille.
This Bill provides that service pensions and disability pensions payable under the Connaught Rangers (Pensions) Acts 1936 to 1957 shall be increased by six per cent which is the percentage appropriate in accordance with the scale of increases for State pensioners, generally, authorised by the Minister for Finance in his Budget Statement of April 1959.
The increases became effective from 1st August 1959 and they are being paid since that date on the authority of a Supplementary Estimate for pensions passed in this House on 22nd July 1959.
I do not think that the measure calls for any comment, unless any Deputy wishes to raise a point.
