Mr. John McKeon:

It is targeted. There was an initial report, the Programme for Prosperity and Fairness, which was a long time ago. There was also a subsequent review of the code of practice on the term of employment status. The trade union movement would have been concerned about a number of sectors in particular and we have targeted those sectors. Media, journalism and construction were the sectors we have tended to target to date. There are one or two others about which I have concerns and we will be moving on to those sectors after our other investigations are complete.
