CIE pensioners today marched from Ceannt Station to government TD John Connolly's office on Flood Street

They have handed in a letter calling on the Transport and Finance Ministers to increase the retired rail and bus workers pensions

2,000 pensioners nationwide, including a large number in Galway have had their payments frozen at 2008 rates

The pensioners say when the economic recovery began, the public transport provider said it couldn’t afford the increases
