A group of An Post pensioners have held a protest calling for the Government to implement a “lousy” 2% increase in their pensions as agreed.

The retired workers staged the demonstration outside the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications on Wednesday over Minister Eamon Ryan’s “failure” to sign off on the increase due to them since January.
