‘Show us the money’ - Government urged to resolve years of pension discrimination

The Government has been urged to ‘show us the money’ and resolve years of pension discrimination against women, punished for taking time out of work to raise their children.

Sinn Féin’s Mary Lou McDonald dismissed Government claims it cannot conjure up the funds to tackle the pensions anomaly.

She demanded ministers take action as women and supporters protested outside the Dáil yesterday.
