Paul Bradford (Fine Gael)

I am reading from the explanatory memorandum rather than the Bill. It informs us that section 3 amends changes made in the Social Welfare and Pensions Act 2010 to the recording of weekly social insurance contributions as a result of the abolition of the employee PRSI relief and pension contributions as they are no longer considered necessary. Could the Minister clarify what the phrase "no longer considered necessary" means? What is not being recorded? Are contributions no longer being made and therefore nil contributions will not be recorded? In our clinics from time to time we come across difficulties with contributions, generally from the self-employed. I do not understand to what the phrase refers.
