Mr. John McKeon:

I do not want to talk about Revenue. One of the things we do, and the chair of Revenue would have to confirm if this is the case or not, is that we do not look at what is called intermediary structure. For example, if I am someone who is employed but I am not employed in my own name but am employed in the name of a limited company which I have set up, we will look at that relationship and see if it is an employment or a self-employed relationship. Revenue may be limited in that when there is a corporate structure in place. It may not be able to look any further than that. I do not want to be quoted on that, Chair, as the chair of Revenue can speak to that.
