    Has Ireland a scheme whereby if someone is employed less than certain number of hours, 20 hours? the employer does not have to pay PRSI for them? I am not talking of FAS CE schemes

    No, even if an employee is class J (retired or earning less than €38 a week) a small percentage or employers prsi is still payable. There’s a full list here:

    I worked two part time jobs 17 years ago and there was employers prsi paid then. So it’s been like it is now a very long time.

    OK thanks. Is there any advantage for an employer to have two part time staff, each working half a week, rather than one full time?

    PRSI rates have nothing to do will hours worked per week. The system works on bands of pay per week, which in turn decide the PRSI sub class and the percentages paid.

    When is the money (including lost growth) Michael Noonan took in the Pension Levy going to be paid back?

    Yes, from a tactical perspective.

    Should one go sick for example it may be possible to get the other part timer to work a few extra hours to cover the shortfall.
