I propose to take Questions Nos. 734, 735, 736 and 737 together.

I am advised by Revenue that the table below sets out the estimated first and full year costs to the Exchequer, in 2025, of each proposal outlined by the Deputy.

Proposal First Year €m Full Year €m
Removing USC on the first €30,000 earned 945 1,085
Removing USC on the first €35,000 earned 1,180 1,355
Removing USC on the first €40,000 earned 1,385 1,590
Removing USC on the first €45,000 earned 1,560 1,790
