Budget Statement 2010
4:00 pm
Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)
In making adjustments to social welfare rates, we recognised that consumer prices have not declined at the same rate for all groups. Older people have experienced by far the smallest reduction in living costs. For that reason and in recognition of the contribution they have made to the State the Government has decided to leave the State pension unchanged.
