Social Insurance
Dail Éireann — 2024-06-11
============================================================

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

Tomorrow night we will vote on Second Stage of the Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill. As it stands, the Bill proposes to increase employees' PRSI every year for the next five years. Given that employers' PRSI is the lowest in Europe and given the cost-of-living crisis workers face, will the Minister withdraw the Government's proposal for an extra tax on ordinary workers and increase employers' PRSI to cover the costs?
