I would ask the relevant Ministers to put their heads together. All Senators working on this as a collective body because we represent councillors. They get nothing out of the 4% they pay in PRSI. Many of them have to take on the role of councillor full time given the huge workload. They are dependent on alternative employment and they have gaps in their pensions. In giving "something back to all", will the Minister examine the position of this sector?

Rome was not built in a day and I do not expect the Minister to do that. I acknowledge he is proceeding with caution to ensure stability is the main plank.
