I thank Mr. Cody and his team for joining us this morning. I will start on the point Mr. Cody finished on. I was a member of the Oireachtas Special Committee on Covid-19 Response. Part of our work involved looking at the meat processing sector. We found that components within that sector regularly used agency staff to employee companies. These companies often consist of just one single person. The company is often incorporated in a country that person has never been to. Serious concerns were raised about the potential for exploitation. Am I correct in understanding Mr. Cody as having said that as far as Revenue is concerned, that matter is entirely one for the Department of Social Protection and not one that Revenue would concern itself with?
