Vote 37 - Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) John Brady: It would be very useful at this point, and I do not expect to hear it, if there was a full breakdown of all of those figures because they were only produced last week at the Committee of Public Accounts.

The Minister is aware that the joint committee, under its Chairman, Deputy Curran, has started a comprehensive consideration of bogus self-employment. Our first meeting was fascinating.
