Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

The Minister for Finance said he would rely on the good sense of the Irish people. I presume he intended people not to splurge. I am referring to the significant shortfall in the pensions area. This affects most citizens and needs to be redressed. A number of the Members of the House have called on the Government to permit SSIA money to be invested in PRSAs and pension funds. This is in the national interest and is a matter which might be debated.
