I thank Mr. McKeon. Where it is found that workers were wrongly classified, the implication is that they would not have had the correct employer's PRSI paid for up to 20 years. In that case, is it the Department's position that those workers should retrospectively have those proper PRSI credits, class A credits, for example, reinstated?
