Mr. John McKeon:
The other point on the data is I would genuinely refer the Deputy to the good study the ESRI did. The ESRI has clean hands on this. I believe we have clean hands. We are still concerned about it. The Deputy should not get me wrong. I am just saying it is not as prevalent.
We will be increasing employer inspections. We will be focusing on the construction sector. Perhaps, based on what have got from the Dublin experience, the private security sector is an area to look at. There are some other sectors. The Deputy mentioned RTÉ. We will have a look at that in due course. There is an investigation going on there at present.
