Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Atypical Work Permit Scheme: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 pm

Mr. Padraig Dooley:

The biggest issue in all sectors, and not just in fishing, when we go out is that people do not have records. With our hat on we look for compliance, so rather than going straight to enforcement we seek to get compliance from employers. If there are no records we will work with the employers to reconstruct those records if necessary and work with them to see what is there. At the end of the day, it is about getting rights for workers and not necessarily just getting the paperwork in place.
