ANOTHER STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

All too often, we advocate and work to achieve change but fear that our campaigning falls on deaf ears. For the past fifteen years, many of our members from the Retired Staff of the Aviation Association; ESB; National Pensions Federation and RTE to name a few,  have worked tirelessly  to ensure retired workers have a voice when their pension income is being impacted.

We are delighted to say the proposed Bill to ensure this will become a reality, was moved in the DAIL last week on the 23rd October by Brid Smith PBP.  It was witnessed in the Gallery by the representatives who have never given up. The DAIL moved to accept the Bill go to third stage or Committee Stage.  The group  were pleased their efforts were acknowledged as Brid Smith referred to their presence in the DAIL and they received a wave from the Taoiseach Simon Harris.

There is still  a long way to go but we are one step nearer.
