Our guests heard the departmental officials. The Social Insurance Fund report has been published and is available online. If physical copies are required, we could point our guests in the right direction. The report states that it would take a contribution of 15% to 16% to get the State pension and other benefits. How do our guests feel about self-employed people being required to pay extra contributions while they are at work?
