Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I raise a related matter in an area for which the Minister has responsibility. The Minister's colleague this week and last week drew attention to the grave necessity to extend pension provision. It is almost two years since An Post pensioners who claim they are civil servants received cost of living increases. What is the line Minister prepared to do for a group of senior citizens who served the country well for 40 or 50 years but are not receiving their due pension increases? The Minister and his colleague, the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Deputy Noel Dempsey, have responsibility for this matter.
