no it's not near enough, how can you feed yourself, heat your home,pay your electricity bill, clothes, run a car to get to doctors and hospital appointments, pay for rubbish bins, keep your home repaired, and all that is before you think of your grandchildren birthdays days out ect. nothing in that for your own social life or a holiday, and only the tip of the iceberg.

€299.30 contributory pension after 45 years working and paying stamp and €288 non contributory for doing nothing.Its pure madness after working your hole life.If you work and pay tax for years you should get a lot more.

What people need to realize that when one pensioner dies the surviving spouse only get €299. Yet the bills are exactly the same as when they had double that

Don’t forget a pensioner living alone in their own home have to find the money for maintenance and repairs to their home.
