Brendan Smith

Ceist:

459. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Social Protection if she will review the tax treatment of statutory sick leave payments made by employers in order that they are not subject to the deductions such as USC that the State avoids it when it pays illness benefit to employees; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Statutory sick leave policy is the responsibility of my colleague the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment.  The matter of deductions from payments of statutory sick pay is proper to my colleague the Minister for Finance. 

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
