Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:
I would not agree with the Deputy. We are doing that work. We are not just doing it on our own behalf; we are also doing it as part of joint operations with both NERA and the Revenue Commissioners. We have had some successes in a number of sites, but in other sites that we visited we found the workers and employers are compliant. Obviously, if the Deputy has details, we would be happy to follow them up.
