Speaking on a similar vein, there are home helps. There are tens of thousands working in a home-help type arrangement. As the Minister and Senators will be aware, ten or 15 years ago the home-help service was mostly informal. Now it has become much more formal where a minimum wage rate applies. Generally speaking, it would not be a familial relationship. Of course, there are cases where the home-help provider is providing a home-help service to two or three different persons on the same street, in the same townland or whatever.

Will certification or vetting be required for those who provide home help, which is generally processed through the HSE?
