PQ 26
94 Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the rationale for applying the formula used to assess entitlement to a pre-1953 State pension where credits from a country with which Ireland has a bilateral agreement are used to satisfy the minimum number of contributions required; if her attention has been drawn to the anomalous position whereby once this minimum is reached, every extra non-Irish contribution results in a smaller payment for the applicant; the rationale for not basing the formula on the number of Irish credits as a proportion of total credits up to 260 credits; if her attention has been further drawn to the way in which the formula differs from the full State pension; if the effect of this formula is in keeping with our bilateral agreements; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
