Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Atypical Work Permit Scheme: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 pm

Mr. Padraig Dooley:

Regarding the agents and agency staff, we were made aware of that Filipino agency-type arrangement by our colleagues in the UK. When we met the producer organisations last February, they again raised this issue with them and we said that there is no way we can continue and that they must pay the crew member directly and not have this arrangement of paying a Filipino agent 80% of the amount.
