Mr. Niall Cody:

This goes back to the basis. The agreement we looked at was to apply the PAYE system to self-employed couriers. That is what we were doing. It is interesting to look at the figures in relation to the sector and to the economy. From 2010 to 2019 there was not any significant change in the level of self-employed numbers in the economy or S class PRSI people.
