Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of Employment Permits (Consolidation and Amendment) Bill 2019: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Philip Carroll:

In the nature of any workplace, I do not think it is a case that where somebody is on sick leave for a day or two or even for a week that there would not be capacity in any organisation to fill critical staff vacancies that occur. It is no different to when people go on annual leave. It is not always the case that people are replaced for the period when they are on annual leave. Therefore, I do not think that is a particular concern that arises in the case of meat plants or not that I am aware of, at least.
