Order of Business (2 May 2012)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Before I agree to this being referred to committee for debate, will the Taoiseach clarify that the consequence of this Revised Estimate will be to reclassify PRSI receipts as income tax and, as a consequence, that the Government will be cutting €13 million from the national training fund into which employers pay? This would have the effect of cutting a fund used to train people.
