I support Migrant Rights Centre Ireland's call for labour market mobility to be associated with employment permits in future. I utterly reject the current situation whereby workers on permits here are treated like a second class of worker when compared with other employees in terms of their access to the Workplace Relations Commission. Under head 6 in the more detailed document, a concern was expressed that companies based outside the State may use intercountry transfer permits to circumnavigate the requirements in this country. I would be grateful if Ms McGinley would go into more detail as to the intercountry transfer permit system and specific concerns.
