I move amendment No. 11:

In page 6, before section 3, but in Part 2, to insert the following new section:

3.—The Minister shall, within 1 month of the enactment of this Act, report to the Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection on the progress made in establishing an Employer Job PRSI Incentive Scheme.".

This amendment seeks that within a month of the Bill's enactment the Minister will report to the Joint Committee on Social Protection on the progress made in establishing an employer job PRSI incentive scheme. I take on board what the Minister said on the other amendment about his wish to simplify the PRSI system. Perhaps he will introduce a universal social contribution scheme. In light of that, I expect the Minister to report to the House at another stage as to how he is progressing in that regard.
