Fianna Fáil vows to tackle pensions inequalities

Fianna Fáil is to raise the Government’s failure to address pensions inequalities which are denying tens of thousands of women full payments. 

The “gross unfairness” of the anomaly in calculations of the contributory old age pension is to be raised at the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis in Dublin’s RDS today.

It comes after Finance Minister, Paschal Donohoe, came under criticism this week for not addressing the pension inequalities as part of Budget 2018.
