Mr. O'Leary
With your permission, Sir, I wish to raise on the Adjournment this evening the fact that many persons who are entitled to receive the old age, blind and widows' pensions increase of 5/- per week by virtue of the Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1966, are being refused this increase by the Department of Social Welfare.
I will communicate with the Deputy.
