Section 110(1) of the Social Welfare (Consolidation) Act 2005 provides that a self-employed contributor shall not be regarded as satisfying the qualifying conditions for receipt of State pension (contributory) unless all outstanding PRSI contributions have been paid. The person concerned has been advised to contact his local Tax Office in relation to his outstanding PRSI liability, and that when this has been finalised he should contact this Department. His pension entitlement will then be reviewed.
