Okay. Does any other Member wish to come in on this? I note from the figures we have been given so far that 60% of the workers whose cases have been examined and investigated have been found to be wrongly classified as self-employed. At this point, it would be useful to know how many workers in total have had their cases examined so far. In addition, since this has come up in our examination of this matter, what is the situation regarding compensation and recompense for lost holiday pay and PRSI contributions for workers classified as employees as opposed to being self-employed? It would be useful if we got that information from RTÉ.

In fairness to the Department, we cannot go back to it every week or anything like that. The Deputy suggested it would be useful to have that information by September. The information supplied by Mr. McKeon is helpful in that regard.
