669. Deputy Barry Heneghan asked the Minister for Social Protection the earnings thresholds that apply under the auto enrolment retirement savings scheme for workers paid weekly as compared to those paid monthly; whether he accepts that applying a €5,000 threshold over a 13-week period for weekly paid workers equates to an annual threshold of approximately €2,0000, while applying the same €5,000 e threshold over a 16-week period for monthly paid workers results in an effective annual threshold of approximately €16,000; whether this creates an inconsistency in treatment based solely on pay frequency; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
