Mr. Hubert Loftus:
On home tutors, the issue with Revenue arose at a time when home tutors were paid via a grant paid to the parents who were the employers. Home tutors have since been put on the payroll operated by the Department such that tax issues are dealt with automatically through the payroll system. One of the engagements we had with Revenue was to address this issue in order that it would no longer arise.
