Okay. To my mind, it is a poor reflection on the commission that it is taking this length of time. I appreciate what Professor Walsh is saying.

I want to ask about the recommendation regarding the reduced rate of PRSI. What precisely is the commission recommending? Is it the removal of the reduced rate of PRSI or something different? I am not clear on it from the wording. My question then is whether the commission has discussed with the Government the removal of the reduced rate of PRSI. We have seen the recommendation by the Commission on Taxation and Welfare. The Low Pay Commission's recommendation is there, although I am not entirely clear what precisely it is asking for. Has the commission discussed it with the Government?
