Mr. Cody mentioned to Deputy Munster that neither revenue nor taxation was lost. However, the employer's PRSI contribution is different for a self-employed worker than for a PAYE worker. We all know that. Has Revenue done a calculation of the differential? It is a whole sector. It is being wound down and I see in the papers the witnesses supplied for today that it is down to two firms. That is welcome but there is a category of workers who were not getting their correct PRSI contributions and the State was not receiving employer's PRSI. Has Revenue done a calculation of the loss of revenue to the State on that or put a figure on it?
