What I am specifically interested in is that we know that some employers target the reduced rate of PRSI. They organise their rosters around that. If that research has not been undertaken, then I would very seriously suggest it should be undertaken to understand the impact of that abolition. To me, it would have a transformative effect, especially on certain sectors like retail and hospitality, with regard to quality employment within those sectors.
