Yes. The Eversheds report went back two years. The issue we have been constantly raising is the demands to be treated as employed rather than self-employed actually go back way longer than that. Not only is that the case but if contributions had been paid for people for those preceding years then they would have, for example, different pension entitlements. It is that particular component we have been following up on. Does it go beyond the Eversheds report or is it confined to the two years that report looked at? There could be additional revenue liabilities, be that tax or PRSI, but there is also an issue with entitlements arising out of that.

Am I missing something? That was one of the key issues we were following up on.
