- Social Welfare Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (16 Oct 2024)
Mattie McGrath: I welcome the improvements in the budget as regards PRSI for self-employed persons, although we are starting from a low base. When the crash came, employees were rightly able to get supports. They had paid in, as had their employers. However, a self-employed person with a van – a plasterer, welder, fitter, block layer or whatever – got nothing. While I accept that a lower...

They do not get illness benefit. That can be considered, but are...

Seán Sherlock: I am conscious of the time and that other colleagues have tabled amendments, so I will be brief and speak specifically to my amendment. Where people lose office or cease to be Members, they can find themselves in the invidious position of having no payments due to them. Notwithstanding High Court actions or otherwise, the question also arises as to whether the Minister can, by statutory...
