I thank the Minister for attending once again. I seek clarification on the section which relates to the payment of PRSI in error by an employer or a self-employed person. A four-year time limit is introduced for the claiming of refunds, which will have a detrimental effect on a claimant. What percentage of people per annum make such an error? How much does the Department expect to save in making this change? Does the Minister consider it fair that if someone pays PRSI in error, a four-year time limit is imposed on claiming back the money? I do not consider it fair. What does the Minister hope to achieve by the introduction of this amendment?
