Imelda Munster: That is perfect. That is what I wanted to know. That investigation would result in the creation of a lot of documents, I imagine. Would a final report of sorts be produced and made available to the person or persons disclosing a practice of miscalculation upon their request?

Imelda Munster: If somebody earning between €40,000 and €50,000 was misclassified as self-employed rather than as an employee, how much might the settlement with the Revenue Commissioners be? Would it beget a similar settlement concerning, say, the Department of Social Protection? Could Mr. Cody indicate how much it would be for the same individual, just to get an idea?

Imelda Munster: I flagged the item, too.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (2 Dec 2021)

Imelda Munster: It is so frustrating. There are reports of the spiralling costs of the national children's hospital. Judging by this piece of correspondence, the Department is blatantly refusing to engage with the committee, citing commercial sensitivities and asserting that its focus is on completing the project. Optimistically, this hospital will not open until at least 2024. Come that time, I fully...

Imelda Munster: You could use the word "disappointed" but you could also say that we are at a total loss as to how, two and a half years on, they have not finalised the report.

Imelda Munster: I want to touch, first, on the issue of bogus self-employment. Where there is doubt or conflict, am I correct that responsibility would fall to the Department to determine if an individual is an employee or self-employed?

Imelda Munster: I thank Mr. McKeon for that response. Was it his Department that classified the courier sector or was it Revenue?

Imelda Munster: In February 2021, representatives from the Revenue Commissioners told the Committee of Public Accounts that all couriers are deemed to be self-employed by way a single precedent first used by the Department of Social Protection, dating from the 1990s. They clearly said it came from Mr. McKeon's Department. Were they wrong?

Imelda Munster: I apologise but my time is limited. Mr. McKeon stated the deal did not arise following the consideration of a single case by the Department. Did the Department have any further role in the broad classification of the courier sector, or any sector, based on a single case as enacted by Revenue?
