There have been no cases to date of bogus self-employment in my Department before the SCOPE section of the Department of Social Protection.
There are four organisations under the aegis of my Department. These are Pobal, Water Safety Ireland, the Western Development Commission and the Charities Regulator. Similarly, none of these bodies have any cases that are before the SCOPE section of the Department of Social Protection for investigation or determination.
