I propose to take Questions Nos. 634 to 636, inclusive, together.

The information requested by the Deputy is contained in the table.

These estimates are based on PRSI Class A contributions. They use the latest available data and reflect macro-economic indicators for 2019. They also reflect the planned increase in the lower threshold for employer PRSI from €376 to €386 from 1 January 2019.

It should be noted that these estimates do not take into account any possible changes in employer behaviour arising from changing rates of contribution.
