7 Miss Flaherty asked the Minister for Social Welfare the reason he is unable to provide statistics on the number of senior citizens who would qualify for pro rata old age pensions if this provision were to be extended generally to those with contribution averages of between five and 19 as currently apply to only one group of pensions; the way in which any decision on the provisions may be made without basic information; and if he will undertake to supply that information urgently to Dáil Eireann, the National Pensions Board and the aggrieved pensioners.
