Mr. Peadar Ó Scanaill:

In fairness, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has clarified the issue and all practitioners who carry out TB testing have signed a document stating whether they are an employee or an employer. It is something that may develop further in the context of the certificate. If we felt it was required, we could ask on our certificate of suitability application, which comes in every four years, or on the application for registration, which is filled and signed every year. If this was something that we thought we needed to delve into more, we could do so. The Department made it very clear that the service provider who was to receive the money had to be the employer. It made that very clear and we signed it.
