Written answers

Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection

Scope Section in my Department has responsibility for determining employment status and PRSI class under the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005. The company referred to by the Deputy is currently the subject of two separate Scope investigations.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
