Greens slam PD pension plans as 'magic numbers'

The Progressive Democrats pension proposals amount to nothing more than 'superficial magic numbers' that do nothing to deal with the inequality of our pensions system, according to Green Party Social and Family Affairs spokesperson Dan Boyle TD.

"The £100 pension was followed by the €200 pension and now the PDs promise a €300 pension; yet still our State pension lags behind at half the European Union average," said Deputy Boyle.
