Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach agus leis na finnéithe chomh maith. I thank the witnesses for attending and for their statements. I will keep my contribution short and tight. I will ask for the witnesses' views on two issues. I would be interested to hear their views on the recommendation that pensioners should continue to pay PRSI. Second, how do the witnesses feel the recommendation for the additional payment for child benefit, which is the means-tested portion, compares with the existing one? Should it be a top-up of the existing child benefit or should it be more substantial, that is, equal to or larger than the existing child benefit for people on lower pay? I would like to get a handle on what kind of payment the witnesses are recommending.
