Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)

I have heard complaints from some retired teachers in my constituency that they have not received their pensions or that their pensions are very delayed as a result of the activities in question. I challenge Senator Fitzgerald and the Minister to clarify in the House whether this is the case. If so, it is a disgrace that pensioners, including retired teachers, are being sacrificed to the gain of Fianna Fáil local election candidates.
