I propose to take Questions Nos. 125 and 126 together.

The introduction of a third band of employers contribution on weekly income exceeding €1,923 per week at the rate of 11.75%, 12.75%, 13.75%, 14.75% and 15.75% is estimated to yield €18.3 million, €36.6 million, €54.9 million, €73.2 million, & €91.5 million, respectively, in additional funding in a full year for the Social Insurance Fund.
