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

These estimates are based on PRSI Class A contributions.  They use the latest available data and reflect macro-economic indicators. 

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

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
