167 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs his views on whether Irish citizens without individual means, property or pension but who are now elderly having been home-makers in the 1950s and not in a position to accumulate stamps should be entitled to a State pension in accordance with the unequivocal intent of Article 42.2.1 of the Constitution; the plans he has to ensure that the hundreds of elderly Irish mothers who now find themselves without pension or individual means or property are to be given a fair pension.
