678. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Social Protection if, in view of the fact that the introduction of the total contributions approach acknowledges that the previous system threw up unfair anomalies such as, for example, in cases where women subject to the marriage bar are denied a full contributory old age pension despite having more than the minimum number of PRSI contributions and years worked necessary to qualify; and if he will apply this total contributions approach retrospectively in the case of these women, such that women who have well over the minimum number of PRSI contributions necessary to qualify for a contributory pension can gain access to such a pension.
