I asked the Taoiseach a couple of weeks ago about the unacceptable delays for An Post pensioners in relation to a pension increase that was already agreed. That was agreed back in September. The Minister was asked to approve it on 23 October. The pensioners are really upset that the increase they badly need in the cost-of-living crisis, to keep food on the table, pay bills and keep their homes heated, has not been signed off on by the Minister. All they are waiting on is for the Minister for public expenditure, Deputy Jack Chambers, to sign off on it. When I raised this matter with the Taoiseach, he undertook that he would talk to the Ministers about it and he agreed it was unacceptable for it not to be resolved quickly. Did the Taoiseach talk to the Ministers and can he tell the An Post pensioners when this is going to be signed off on?
