Here's my piece for @thebookseller.com about the issue of increasing admin demands on authors and illustrators doing kids' book events, and the impact the Karshan ruling by the Supreme Court could have on those events in Ireland. (not my choice of headline)

Children's book events are the children's publishing industry's main form of marketing, they provide income for authors and illustrators and an important cultural service for kids. New self-employment regulations in Ireland are putting that at risk.

This has come to a head with the Karshan ruling, which has resulted in new demands from the Revenue Commissioners regarding who should or should not be considered self-employed. Intended to tackle abuses of the gig economy, it has caused major problems for organisations that hire freelancers. 3/5

This is Illegal. The Domino’s/Karshan case restated the 1997 Denny case. Giving employers this 2yr “amnesty” is against the Supreme Court rulings. Sadly media is awash with bogus self employment, so they’re hardly likely to rock the boat.

[copied from Twitter] We need to talk about "Rabbi" George Asher Meza.

(with thanks to Andrea Karshan for sharing video clips)

OMG ASHER MEZA IS BACK AND HE'S DOING A PODCAST WITH ONE OF THE WORST GUYS IMAGINABLE
