Vol. 217 No. 4

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - CIE Pensions.

20.

asked the Minister for Transport and Power if, in view of the fact that persons in receipt of CIE pensions of £600 or over have not received any increase and in view of the increase in the cost of living since these pensions were granted, any steps are being taken to have such pensions adjusted.

I am informed by CIE that the question of an increase in the pensions of the category of pensioners referred to in the Deputy's question is at present under consideration.

Could the Minister tell me when this class of pensioner got the last increase?

It would take me some time to look through the table. I will forward the information to the Deputy.

Would it be right to say that it is seven or ten years?

Something like that.
