The point I am making is that we cannot go after the private sector by having these people deemed to be employees, while a Department decides it can do whatever it wants, these people are self-employed and in PRSI category S and it has no responsibility, even though the individuals are providing a service for that Department, which is paying them and making tax deductions from their pay.
