Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Congregated Settings: Meat Plants (Resumed)

I do not know the Deputy's definition of migrants but, based on our own analysis of the nationality of our workforce, 30% of the 15,000 people in the industry are of Irish nationality. Another 50% are from the EU, excluding Ireland. Therefore, 80% of our workforce are EU citizens, with the balance being people who came into Ireland legitimately on employment permits over the past-----
