Ms Egan also mentioned the threshold of €18,000, which would exclude anybody earning more than approximately €350 per week. I know that in Scotland the threshold is £26,000, which is approximately €30,000. Did Ms Egan's office make any suggestions as to what this threshold might be raised to or has anybody else suggested or given an idea as to what it might go to?
