Marie Moloney: I am not sure whether my next question falls within Ms Kennedy's domain. When a self-employed person's business goes belly-up and he or she applies for jobseeker's allowance, if it is granted the person cannot get a credit when signing for it simply because he or she was self-employed. This is discrimination. Such a person has paid taxes and the required amount of PRSI but is not awarded a...

Marie Moloney: I am sorry to return to an issue that has been mentioned previously, but I did not want to interrupt the previous speaker. Illness benefit is paid for two years. I know a person who suffers from leukaemia and is undergoing treatment. That person has come to the end of the two-year period and is faced with a scenario of going on disability allowance or an invalidity pension. The problem is...

Marie Moloney: They would include people who worked in this country and moved abroad afterwards. There is no idea of what is being paid in that respect?

Marie Moloney: Surely we have an overall figure for the number of pensions being paid overseas.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Actuarial Review of the Social Insurance Fund: Discussion (20 Sep 2012)
Marie Moloney: Could we examine the area further? If people have moved abroad and are contributing to another country's economy, we would, in effect, be paying a double pension; the people would get a pension from the country in which they live as well as Ireland. If the people in question made contributions here, that is fair enough, but should the rate not be quite reduced?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Actuarial Review of the Social Insurance Fund: Discussion (20 Sep 2012)
Marie Moloney: The people in question would have moved abroad and contributed to another economy. They can use the contributions paid in the other country to supplement the pension from Ireland. Is that correct?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Actuarial Review of the Social Insurance Fund: Discussion (20 Sep 2012)
Marie Moloney: I am just asking that the area be examined. We are looking through a glass darkly at increasing PRSI contributions from employers and employees, which could be detrimental to employment. There are areas that could be considered and we must make some hard decisions. Unfortunately, that is a result of the current economic climate and hard decisions must be made, whether we like it or not.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Actuarial Review of the Social Insurance Fund: Discussion (20 Sep 2012)
Marie Moloney: The 4% seems to cover an awful lot. We have to jump up to 16%-----

- Seanad: Order of Business (25 Sep 2012)
Marie Moloney: I add my voice to those of others condemning the horrific and callous murder of pensioner Eugene Gillespie. I extend my sincere sympathy to his family. I call on the banks to embark on a publicity campaign to instil confidence in the elderly to keep their savings in the banks. Many of the elderly have been through hard times and, with uncertainty in respect of banks, they are reverting to...
