Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has promised one social welfare group a payment increase in the coming months.
The old age pension will be going up in the next budget, the Taoiseach told the Dail yesterday. However, the exact amount is yet to be decided.
Mr Varadkar confirmed the increase while replying to TD for Dublin South Central, Joan Collins, who called on the Taoiseach to support a “pension pledge” campaign organised by Age Action Ireland and the trade unions.
