The Irish Congress of Trade Unions has made strong points around bogus self-employment and how that should be brought into the scheme. As I said, we are moving towards the more woolly end of the questioning spectrum here. Platform working, for instance, which is difficult to define, might be most easily understood in terms of the likes of Deliveroo workers. Of course, there are different forms of platform working and that is only the most visible kind. Across Europe, Governments are struggling to understand how the disruptive influence of platform working will integrate into our more traditional systems. Is there scope within this Bill to bring some in?
