There is no naivety here. There are extensive provisions with regard to employer compliance, information-sharing, and the anti-victimisation of employees, including employees having recourse to the WRC for the last point. We do not need the amendment because it is already there.

The point is that from day one when you take somebody on, you enrol them in auto-enrolment. That is it. That is the law. There is no equivocation. The information will be shared with the new authority by the Revenue Commissioners, so that will show if people are not making the necessary deductions.
