Details on the number of people paying PRSI contributions in each of the years concerned are set out in the table below. While it is not possible to distinguish between those working in the public and private sectors based on the class of contribution paid, the table identifies public servants who entered the service before 1995 and who pay modified rates of PRSI (classes B, C, D and H). All employees who have entered the public service since 1995 pay PRSI at class A and are not identified as a separate category on the Department's systems. Figures on the numbers paying PRSI in the current year are not yet available.
