Deputy Mick Wallace asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection if she will amend legislation on the State pension (contributory) so that the calculation of average contributions only takes into account the number of years actually worked, rather than the number of years since the person started working, given that the current system unfairly penalises women who took breaks in their employment in order to raise children; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
