Martin Mansergh (Tipperary South, Fianna Fail)

It is in the amendment to the Schedule, amendment No. 26. It states:

In page 12, line 28, to delete paragraph 22.

Home helps are included where they have a public service pension scheme, as some of them do. Part-time workers' pay is set having regard to full-time workers' salary scales and the rate is then appropriately applied to part-time workers. If a worker works 50% of the equivalent full-time worker rate, his or her pay will be reduced accordingly.
