Mr. Niall Cody:

If I might just finish on this issue, ultimately, there are workers' rights and employers' contributions, but two people on €35,000 pay the same tax, whether self-employed or employed. I provided the committee with this information last year. It then depends on the treatment of expenses. The tax risk is the least of the advantage.
