I will stop Mr. McKeon there. There is no clear definition of "employed" or "self-employed" in Irish or EU law. The UK, for example, has a system that allows people to go in. It is not perfect in that it gives 80% of people an outline of their status. We have not introduced such an approach where it would be possible to do so. Why would the Department not look at examples such as that?
