Pat Rabbitte
Ceist:44 Mr. Rabbitte asked the Minister for Social, Community and Family Affairs if his attention has been drawn to the fact that women who were forced to give up their jobs due to the marriage bar are now without adequate PRSI contributions to qualify for a contributory pension; the plans, if any, he has to change pension rules to acknowledge the discriminatory nature of the marriage ban and to ensure income adequacy for women in older age; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
