Martin Brady (Fianna Fail)

With regard to old age pensioners I agree with my comrade, Senator O'Toole. I have had a number of queries from many old age pensioners who are very worried and concerned. They are a very vulnerable section of society and they do not have anyone to speak up for them. We should have learned our lesson about tackling the aged. There are other sections of society such as the fat cats, so hands off old age pensioners. Fianna Fáil has always looked after the vulnerable in society and this is well known and recognised. I ask that the Minister come to the House to explain what this is about so that my confidence can be justified.
