Catherine Murphy: As Mr. McKeon said, we will agree to disagree on some of this. I have no doubt that some people are satisfied, but the level of dissatisfaction was something that, as a public representative, I could not ignore. That is why I continue to raise it. I wish to ask about the scope section of the Department of Social Protection and about the possibility of bogus self-employment. Does the...

Catherine Murphy: On the retrospective alteration where people have been misclassified in terms of their contributions, is there a statute of limitations on that in the same way as there is with Revenue? For example, if somebody was on an S stamp seven years ago and he or she should have been on an A stamp.

Catherine Murphy: I thank Mr. McKeon for answering that. He stated that there is an annual contract with the local employment services, not a contract of indefinite duration.

How can a local employment service stay within the law for some of its...

Catherine Murphy: Given that Departments are supposed to lead by example, is it not a poor example that people are being employed on an annual basis, for 25 years potentially, without ever having any degree of certainty? Now we are seeing that the whole service is likely to be contracted out. There is a high degree of unfairness to the people within that system.
