Ms Edel McGinley:

We have been working with undocumented workers for more than 15 years. They are represented in all sectors in the economy and agrifood is no different. Generally they are employed in much smaller factories or sections of this particular subset of the industry. It is not a high number, according to our information. We will have a new survey coming out soon on undocumented migrants. There is a commitment in the programme for Government to introduce a scheme for undocumented migrants and it will be very welcome to include all workers in this, including this group of workers.

It has been our experience over the years with regard to inspections that people who may be more vocal may be asked not to come in.

I am not saying this is particular to this industry.
