Raising the pension age

Sir, – Muredach Doherty (Letters, September 23rd) should not project his fears about retirement on to the rest of us, "fattening at home and in cafes". Working since age 17, paying PRSI and income tax all those years, I have paid for my pension Mr Doherty.

– Yours, etc,

MARY O’HAGAN,

Phibsborough, Dublin 7.
