RTÉ workers are protesting outside the gates of Leinster House this lunchtime over the issue of bogus self-employment. This is an issue I have raised with the Taoiseach and here in the Chamber on a number of occasions. A total of 396 workers were let go by RTÉ after the Eversheds review. Based on the figures provided to me here last week by the Taoiseach, 297 of those workers would have been employees at the time they were dismissed. What steps is the Government taking to redress the rights of those employees? This matter has been going on for a long time but does not seem to be getting the attention it deserves in terms of the injustice done to these people and to the many hundreds of other workers at RTÉ who have fallen victim to bogus self-employment and who are now fighting without getting results relating to their rights and what should be rightfully theirs under the law.
