This case, along with another similar case, has prompted the Department of Social Protection to conclude that RTÉ is required to make additional PRSI payments on salaries. The inquiry into Cahill's employment status questions whether presenters are more accurately classified as employees rather than independent contractors, which impacts tax and benefits. This situation has sparked concern over the financial implications for the national broadcaster and its presenters' work arrangements over the years.
