Pension Averages
I applied for the Contributory State Pension as I was the age in January 2007. On receiving the pension I only get €157.00 per week which is €52 short. The Department states that I have two contributions in August 1966 and I have no more until 1993 when I started paying P.R.S.I. as I am a small farmer and I paid that from 1993 to pension age which is enough for full pension.  The Department are counting from August 1966 instead of from 1993. I would be very grateful if you would highlight my case as I think I am getting a very unfair pension.
