The following table shows the amounts deducted from salaries of staff in my Department and in the Department of the Taoiseach in respect of superannuation and employee contributions to pay related social insurance in the years in question. The proceeds of PRSI deductions are transferred, together with the related employer contributions, to the Revenue Commissioners on a monthly basis along with income tax deductions. The payments into the social insurance fund are made by the Revenue Commissioners.
