PRSI records access
Michael Moynihan asked for better access to PRSI records for people nearing pension age. The Taoiseach said he had queried the issue already and would follow it up again.
The programme for Government contains commitments to have open and more transparent Government for citizens. I spoke to the Taoiseach on two previous occasions about PRSI records for people who have made contributions but who now have to go through websites and so forth because records are not made available to citizens in paper form. The Taoiseach gave an indication five weeks ago that he would have this matter resolved. Has any progress been made with the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection to allow citizens advancing towards pension age to have their records be made freely available?
