Mr. Niall Cody:

In a way, with designating somebody as self-employed, we are more concerned about the tax treatment. We do not really have a concept of someone being self-employed or being an employee. PAYE works on collecting emoluments. What we have done, following on from the chapter, is sit down with the CSO to work on misclassification, to try to ensure we are classifying comparably. We have a strong relationship with both the CSO and the Department. We want, as much as possible, to try to get comparable figures where we do not have statistical deviation between different categories.
