Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:
In total, we are aware of approximately 118,000 pensioners in Ireland who are in receipt of a British pension. If those in receipt of means assessed pensions here were to apply for and receive additional income from the United Kingdom, it would potentially have implications for their means assessed pension here.
