We will, on foot of the Pensions Commission report – and it is the right thing to do – make it available to people to get a list of their contributions online. They can pick it up. We will not be sending it out but it will be available. We will encourage people to look at their contributions. There is no point in getting to age 66 and realising you have a lot of gaps. They can log in and see it, possibly on an app. We have not developed that yet. It means everybody can see clearly what their contributions are. If they see zeros, they would want to pay attention and make the voluntary contributions the years they are not liable for PRSI.
