I welcome the Self-Employed Alliance Dundalk. This is a major issue for the entire country and the Department of Social Protection must address it. The cost of providing social insurance for self-employed people will need to be met, but that insurance is necessary, given the significant increase in the number of people seeking help in this regard. I would support a system of social insurance for the self-employed. I hope that the committee will determine to support such a system as well.
