Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Atypical Work Permit Scheme: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 pm
Ms Oonagh Buckley:
I thank the Chairman. The broader briefing document we sent to the committee shows that not only do we follow up on the initial inspection but we have follow-up inspections. Something positive in line with this, and it is slow but we are getting there, is when we are going back for repeat inspections we find higher levels of compliance. This is inevitable. This is what we find on land, although not all of the time unfortunately. I hope this shows that to a degree the penny is dropping on the need for employment rights protection on board sea fisheries vessels.
