asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he is now in a position to announce a specific date on which free off-peak travel for old age pensioners will start; if each pensioner will have to apply for free transport; and if he can give any details as to how the scheme will operate.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Free Travel for Pensioners.
25.
The arrangements for free travel for old age pensioners have not yet been finalised. An announcement will be made as soon as arrangements are completed.
When does the Minister anticipate these arrangements will be completed?
They are near completion.
And this scheme will be introduced before 28th June?
I would hope so, mind you, if at all possible, but it may not be possible.
Is it not marvellous the power of the vote?
It is.
