1371 Dr. Cowley asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if a person (details supplied) in County Mayo is entitled to the new increased early retirement payment as they retired from farming on 10 July 1995; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2042/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs I announced last November, the maximum pension payable under the 1994-1999 Early Retirement Scheme was increased from €12,075 to €14,075 per annum. This increase was payable to active Scheme participants with effect from 1 November 2006. However the person named finished his participation in the Scheme on 2 September 2004, and therefore will not benefit from it.
