On the scale of it, Mr. Cody correctly said, I think, that it is hard to put a figure on it. We have seen figures that are widely different like €800 million, and then fractions of that, per annum. As I understand it, the employment status investigation unit conducted 90 investigations in 2021 and found a 44% level of misclassification. I thought that was a very high percentage of workers the unit found from those 90 examinations and that was the level of bogus self-employment. Would Mr. Cody accept that is high and cannot be dismissed too easily?
