I have raised the issue with the Minister and his predecessor on several occasions in the past about contributions to the State contributory pension and how it has impacted out, particularly the whole area of averaging. I know the Department is undertaking a review of this. It has had an impact on women who worked in the home, were self-employed, were affected by the marriage ban or spent time raising families. I have some examples to give to the Minister after his initial response.
