The minister nor anybody in government ever explains why state and semi state employees were not paying a stamp and then PRSI at the same rate as all private employees in similar employment and pay levels. This left these employees who left because of the marriage bar or to take care of their home with absolutely no entitlement to any benefits; unemployment, sickness, dental, medical or pension contributions. Of course these were nearly all women and as is being shown over and over again in this country women just don't matter.
Why have the unions nor any political party ever taken this on as an issue.
