Ms Mary Kennedy:

The report deals with the area of self-employment in terms of the appropriate employer and employee contribution level for pension and, in the case of self-employed, what it would cost, in addition to the State pension they receive based on the 4% contribution, to provide jobseeker's benefit and additional pension. Those figures are contained in the report.
