I suppose the same could be said in response to the Irish Hotels Federation submission. If we are looking at giving out permits we would need to be confident that the pay would be sufficient for people to live on. In the hospitality sector, we would need to be confident that people who would come here on a work permit would be given sufficient hours instead of these zero-hour or six hour a week contracts and that there would not be any other exploitation. What are employers doing to ensure this is not the case?
