The Minister and members will probably will be aware that amendment No. 4 deals exactly with topic we have been discussing for the last 30 minutes or so, namely, the merger of USC and PRSI. I am not going to discuss that now because we have not got to that section but I want to go back to close off on another matter. The Minister was going to provide figures and data. I have looked at the data myself. Does the Minister accept that somebody on €70,000 is in the top 15% of income earners in the State?
