I will come back to Ms Farrell on that one. The witnesses talked about how confusing the qualification rules for PRSI are. This is not the social protection committee. It is slightly different. I want to highlight that and agree with the witnesses that the issue is extraordinarily complicated. We may need to work to simplify it. They talked about 60% of female respondents continuing to work past 65 versus 40% of male respondents doing so. Why do they think there is such a difference?
