James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

Under section 19, the proposed new subsection 1(a) of section 112A states:

In this section-

(a) as respects so much of a payment that qualifies for relief under section 470, 'appropriate percentage', 'authorised insurer', 'relevant contract' and 'relievable amount' have the same meanings, respectively, as in section 470,

The Minister has reassured Deputy O'Sullivan that nothing herein incurs an additional cost either to the employee or the employer. How can that be? Surely one or the other will face an additional charge. Is the Minister saying this will negate any additional payments from either the insured or the employer who is insuring him or her?
