Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
General Scheme of Employment Permits (Consolidation and Amendment) Bill 2019: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Liam Berney:
As part of the negotiations for Towards 2016, a social partnership agreement which ended in 2008, there was an agreement that the number of inspectors would increase to 90 at that particular point in time. That never happened, however. It would be instructive for the committee to ask the Workplace Relations Commission the appropriate number of inspectors. I think it would say in excess of 90.
