James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the Government-driven injustice which has resulted in those earning the lowest salary levels in the Civil Service, including students taking temporary summer employment at approximately €285 per week, being forced to pay two levies on their limited means, while those at the top salary level are technically exempt and mostly refusing to pay the pension levy because, according to a reported comment from a member of the Judiciary, they believe they are entitled to what they earn.
