Defend The State Pension

Older & Bolder, an alliance of eight of the country's leading organisations representing and working with older people, has announced that it will be running a Nationwide lobby this weekend (November 4-6) to 'Defend the State Pension' and is urging people to join the campaign.

Older & Bolder's Project Director, Patricia Conboy, stated "It is clear that cutting Ireland's pension bill is very much 'on the table' in December's Budget so we need to make clear to the decision makers and the wider public what impact such a policy would have on older people. We are asking people to go to their local TDs clinics to discuss their concerns and to sign our petition either online or by calling our offices on 01 8783623."
