Vol. 328 No. 7

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Old IRA Special Allowance.

17.

asked the Minister for Defence if he is aware of the great hardship which is being caused to Old IRA men who were in receipt of a special allowance, because of his Department's decision either to terminate the allowance completely or to reduce the allowance following the increase in old age pensions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Increases in old age pension are not assessed as means for special allowance purposes, and, therefore, do not affect entitlement to such an allowance.
