Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Atypical Work Permit Scheme: Discussion

4:00 pm

Ms Edel McGinley:

It is discriminatory practice, absolutely. There are hierarchies depending on a person's power relationship to the employer. If people are documented they have a particular amount of power. If they have a stamp they can assert more power. They can leave the boat and they can go and take up other employment. If they are undocumented they do not have that power. It absolutely is discrimination. It is racism. It is whatever the Chair would like to call it.
