Would it not be better from the State's perspective if it took, say, €500 million into auto-enrolment and would invest the money? If it did not collect enough then that would be the State's investment into the fund anyway so the State invests in bonds or whatever anyway. Would that not be a better system? It would be easier for the State to control it. Would it not be easier for the taxpayer?
