Thanks Kaiser, that is very helpful. I have analysed it over revenue and cuts.

That's very interesting.

Just last night I heard Alan Shatter saying that he would have €160 million less to spend next year. I wonder where the difference is?

Also on the abolition of the PRSI exemption:

Would we have 2 million working earning over €352 per week?

If so I calculate the extra PRSI to be €528M?

2,000,000 * 127 *52 @ 4% = €528M

Maybe my figures are way off.
