Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2004: Committee and Remaining Stages.
12:00 pm
Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)
What else did this Government do? We introduced a major increase in the widow's and widower's contributory pension and non-contributory pension. The first time widowers were recognised was 1997. I do not know, but I think we were in Government that day.
