I am certainly not implying that it is simple, but I make the point to Mr. Cody that comprehensive analysis has been carried out to show that in the construction sector alone, €640 million has been lost to the State over an eight-year period. If we extend that into all of the other sectors, that is potentially a massive loss in terms of revenue to the State over a sustained period.
I will move to the decision taken in 1997 that led the Revenue Commissioners to label courier delivery drivers as self-employed for the past 27 years. Mr. Cody is shaking his head. Does he dispute that?
