‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Old IRA Special Allowance. Old IRA special allowance and pensions
Summary
Tully asked whether old age pension increases had led to Old IRA men’s special allowances being reduced or stopped; Moore said pension increases do not affect eligibility.
asked the Minister for Defence if he is aware of the great hardship which is being caused to Old IRA men who were in receipt of a special allowance, because of his Department's decision either to terminate the allowance completely or to reduce the allowance following the increase in old age pensions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
