Dermot Ahern
Question:57 Mr. D. Ahern asked the Minister for Finance the plans, if any, he has to change the regulations governing the PAYE tax system in relation to employees in receipt of short-term disability benefit during and after absence from work due to illness in view of the fact that in some instances, but particularly in circumstances where employees are not paid directly by the company while out sick, employees are having difficulties paying periodic payment during their absence from work, mainly because their tax allowances are not apportioned during that period; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
