Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I accept the Minister's point. However, it is reasonable and fair that those on lower incomes should benefit most from the PRSI system. Anybody with a social conscience would want to see that level of wealth distribution applying so that those who are least well off can have adequate social insurance from the State. For that to occur, it requires the well-off to make their contributions. I am simply advocating that this should happen via the removal of the PRSI ceiling.
