Vol. 405 No. 9
57 Proinsias De Rossa asked the Minister for Finance the net disposable income after income tax, PRSI and health levies, for the average industrial worker which combines the earnings of men and women, of (a) married person with two children, spouse not working and (b) single person, at the end of each year from 1985 to 1990; and if he will give (1) the percentage change on the previous year and (2) the consumer price index change.
The latest available information on industrial pay is a provisional estimate of average earnings per week for manufacturing workers — male and female — for September 1990. The following table sets out the net disposable income of these workers after deduction of income tax, PRSI and health levies. These deductions and the relevant percentage changes were calculated as if the average income for each of the weeks in question represented the average weekly income for the relevant tax year.
