Has Revenue ever tried to ascertain a figure as to how much is lost to the State on an annual basis? Figures have been put out there. For example, over an eight-year period ICTU estimated a loss of €640 million in the construction sector alone. We know bogus self-employment is not just prevalent within the construction sector, it is in the media, as we saw with RTÉ. I will touch on that in a moment. We also see it in education and in the gig economy. Given the court case and the Supreme Court findings, what actions have been taken by Revenue to try to ascertain a figure?
