I have been listening all morning. I am concerned about this issue. I said to the Taoiseach, when he appeared before the committee a couple of weeks ago, that it is a bizarre situation when a brand-new policy that is 20 years in the making will continue to perpetuate a pension pay gap, as obvious as the nose on our face, that exists with the current State contributory pension. We need to be very careful and aware, when we do pre-legislative scrutiny on automatic enrolment, that we come up with some solutions to that.
