Deputy Jim Daly asked the Minister for Social Protection if she will confirm the categories of existing contributors that are exempt from the changes made in budget 2012 which required the number of stamps to be increased from 260 to 520 to qualify for a contributory pension; her views on whether it is fair and reasonable that a person, who had the required amount of stamps paid in 2012 to qualify for a contributory pension in 2015 and for whom it is not possible to acquire the required additional stamps in the allowed timeframe, does not now qualify for the payment; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
