Minister for Social Protection

In late 2020, my Department commenced an investigation into the PRSI classification of RTÉ’s contractors. RTE provided the Department with lists of workers engaged on a contract basis in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and these formed the basis of the investigation. I can confirm that there were no determinations requested prior to 2018.
