John Connor
Question:174 Mr. Connor asked the Minister for Social Welfare if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the recent changes in the regulations governing the payment of PRSI and part-time workers is having a very serious and damaging effect on the mushroom industry, which will lead to unemployment and the close-down of the smaller mushroom producer; if he has any plans to address the special needs of this industry in relation to PRSI; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
