Finance and Related Matters: Statements.
I worry about the SSIA scheme and while I realise that when the money is paid out in four or five years it will go into the economy, there could be a great cost to the State. Perhaps the Minister will consider at this late stage an opt-out clause for people who cannot keep up their SSIA payments. It would be a generous gesture by the Government towards those who suffer job loss or changed economic circumstances.
