Alan Shatter
Ceist:112 Mr. Shatter asked the Minister for Social Welfare the reason a person (details supplied) in Dublin 14 does not qualify for a free natural gas allowance; whether he will consider changing the eligibility rules for obtaining such allowance so as to ensure that persons in receipt of a pension from the Paymaster General are not deprived of such allowances; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
