155. To ask the Minister for Social Protection the length of time a matter has been under investigation (details supplied); the reason this matter has not yet been finalised; the stage at which it is now; and when her Department expects to reach a final decision on this matter as it is causing undue hardship on the persons involved.

210. To ask the Minister for Social Protection the reason the ESB treats meter readers as self-employed deeming them to be on a contract of service PRSI Class A and due to this, they are denied their statutory rights, that is, redundancy payments and all other social protection entitlements; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 155 and 210 together.
This matter is the subject of ongoing investigation in the Department.
It would not be appropriate for me to comment on the likely outcome of these investigations at this stage.
