The determination of the employment status and therefore the PRSI Class applicable to working directors has been the subject of challenges, court judgments and legal advices. As a result, the Department is examining the matters that determine the insurability status of working directors, having regard to these judgments and advices. In the meantime decisions have been suspended.

I would hope that I would be in a position to bring forward proposals to address this complex area shortly.
