That correspondence quotes the recommendations of Mr. Justice Quirke on pensions, namely, that Magdalen survivors be put in the position that they would have occupied if they had acquired sufficient stamps to qualify for the State contributory pension. On that basis, does Mr. Tyndall agree that the pension payments to which such survivors would be entitled should be backdated to retirement age rather than the beginning of the administration of the scheme?
