The person concerned has outstanding PRSI liabilities in respect of the years 1991/92, 1994/95 and 1995/96. Details of the outstanding amounts were provided to him on 28 September 2011. It is a condition of the State Pension (Contributory) scheme that all self-employment PRSI contributions due by an individual have been paid before entitlement to the pension can be determined.
