I am familiar with the history. The courts have rightly enforced on the HSE that it end the exploitation of its home care workers through the use of zero-hour contracts, which followed on from a successful campaign by SIPTU in that regard. In my view, HSE home care workers are no longer being exploited. Are the 6,000 Home and Community Care Ireland, HCCI, staff still being exploited through the use of zero-hour contracts in an effort to keep down costs or has the company ceased that practice?
