I have a question following on from the appearance of RTÉ representatives at a meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts last week, where they refused to commit to ensuring workers found to be bogusly self-employed would be paid entitlements. We went through maternity pay, sick pay and holiday pay. The Irish Examinerreported that it had been made aware of specific examples of such cases. If the Department of Social Protection dictates that RTÉ must pay it a settlement for not paying employer PRSI it is obliged to pay, will RTÉ ensure the employees or former employees are paid what they are entitled to?
