Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I want to ask the Minister about pensioners aged over 80 years. A qualified adult, usually a woman, does not receive further increases in payment when she reaches 80 years of age. Is this an issue the Minister intends to address? Her predecessors failed to address it and many other issues affecting women and, in particular, widows. I ask that the Minister examine these issues.
