Vol. 255 No. 9

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Soldiers' Pensions.

49.

asked the Minister for Defence if a soldier's pension can be reduced when he reaches the age of 70 years in a case where he is not eligible for social welfare benefits; and, if so, if he will take steps to ensure that such a reduction will not be made in future.

I have under consideration the question of amending the Defence Forces (Pensions) Schemes to provide for cases of the kind referred to by the Deputy.
