Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Sinn Féin wants to see every senior citizen in this State with enough money for a decent standard of living. We called for the pension to be increased in this budget by €34.80, the living alone allowance to be doubled to €15.40 and the fuel allowance increased to €25, not the miserly increase of €4, which is marginally more than the cost of a bale of briquettes.
