John Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail)

We feel that six months is a reasonable period. The Deputy stated that 97 or 98 cases existed. In fact, 2,300 annuitants with annuities of over €200 per annum are affected and will receive a discount of 25%. The Minister is anxious that closure is brought to this matter and she has already instructed that adequate staff will be available in Cavan to deal quickly with this matter.
