Pearse Doherty: The Minister made a point and I am telling him now that those who have gone to the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman have not done so for the good of their health. These are people who are in financial distress. He has stood there and said they have the same protection. He knows fine well they do not have the same protection because there is a major flaw with the legislation that...

Pearse Doherty: On section 2 of the Bill, which deals with the rate of charge in relation to USC, this is not the way the tax package should have been introduced and I will speak to this point more generally in respect of my own amendment. There absolutely was, however, a fairer way to do that. We in Sinn Féin have put on the record that if we have the opportunity to lead the next Government, we will...

We need to see the abolition of USC for the workers whose means are not sufficient to...
