PQ 384
384. Deputy Ciarán Ahern asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason founders of social enterprises established as companies limited by guarantee may be classified as self-employed and required to pay Class S PRSI, despite being paid through payroll, holding no shares in the organisation and being accountable to a voluntary board of directors; if this classification excludes them from MyFutureFund; the steps available to correct an inappropriate classification; and if he will review the rules in order that social enterprise founders are supported to save for retirement rather than penalised for establishing organisations they do not own.
