Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

The Senator asked about the so-called bogus employment. We have said before that we have a contingency of €15 million in the accounts at the moment. It is extremely difficult to put an overall figure on it, and I know that one or two members were asking about this. I want to explain a little bit about why it is difficult to put an overall figure on it and why it is estimated. It is partly because this is an ongoing process with scope and we are going through the cases as rapidly as we can but they are all individual cases. There are 695 on the list we are dealing with at the moment. It is worth saying that, of those, for around 400 the liability is around PRSI because they are not working for RTÉ anymore. That is 400 of them. There are around 200 who are providing services to RTÉ, and many of those are providing them through a limited company. What I am trying to say here is that it is complex.
