Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

The Minister said during the week that Fianna Fáil is the best party for the working man. However, the truth is that many working men do not have pension cover. The Minister must accept that there is an urgent case for enhancing the incentives to ordinary earners to get pension cover. At present, there is almost three times the incentive for people on high income to contribute to pensions than for people on low income. There is no justice in that. Would the Minister not take a more urgent approach than talking about long-term reviews and confirm that this is a priority and that he intends to tackle it?
