Dr. Se?n Healy:

Social Justice Ireland argues for and supports the idea of extending PRSI to share-based remuneration. That is one of the recommendations in the report and that is usually for higher earners. We also support the charging of a higher rate of PRSI on unearned income and passive income such as rent and so on. They were the kinds of comments we were making on the PRSI. We have made a few other comments in our longer submission, which was forwarded to the committee last month.
