(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) or the terms of a deduction from payments order, the Minister for Social Protection shall not, in compliance with such an order, make deductions to the extent that the deduction has the effect of reducing the payment to the judgment debtor of the net scheme payments concerned below the amount specified in column (2) of Part 1 of Schedule 4 to the Act of 2005 that corresponds to item 10(a) of column (1) of that Part of that Schedule.
