I propose to take Questions Nos. 579, 580 and 618 together.

Departmental records show to the people referred to by the Deputy has PRSI Class M contributions since 2008. PRSI Class M is a technical PRSI Class and relates to people who are not liable to make a contribution. PRSI is not chargeable on occupational pensions paid through the PAYE system and, accordingly, no deduction in relation to PRSI should be made. PRSI is also not chargeable on payments made by my Department, including disability allowance.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
