Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Bogus Self-Employment: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Martin McMahon:

Legislation currently exists, however, that can be used. The chief appeals officer has the power to set aside any decision she believes is unsound or unsafe. That needs to happen to the test cases, and to the cases that went through the scope section and were overturned at the SWAO. They all need to be set aside and the chief appeals officer needs to turn off the lights and close the SWAO. It simply cannot be allowed to continue.
