I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the information requested by the Deputy is not available as SSIA statistics are maintained on an individual account holder basis rather than by household. However, based on an analysis previously published by the Revenue Commissioners, the percentage breakdown of SSIA account holders by income categories is outlined in the following table.
Percentage of SSIA account holders by income category — 2004. | ||
Less than €20,000 | Greater than €20,000 & less than €50,000 | Greater than €50,000 |
28% | 49% | 23% |
