Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2024-06-26
============================================================

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire (SF), Cork South-Central

As the Minister will be aware, sometimes we look for reports as a means of tabling an amendment to social welfare legislation. I thought a proposal to delete a few lines might be accepted, but there you go. It seems we will have to be more creative again next time.
We have had a fair bit of discussion on this. The Minister and I obviously do not agree but I am not disputing that there may be a need for increases in employers' and employees' PRSI in the long run. At this juncture, however, we do not believe it is necessary given the cost-of-living crisis and the scope that exists in terms of employers' PRSI on incomes over €100,000. We have had the discussion, however, so we could probably leave the matter as it is. The Minister knows our position on the Bill.
