Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

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

Mr. Philip Carroll:

Right across our sector there is a mix in some areas. As the Deputy will know, there is no statutory obligation for union recognition in workplaces but, nonetheless, right across our sector, there is a mix. Some companies have formal union recognition and others do not. I do not have a particular figure but I do not think, in any plant where there is formal union recognition, there is any difference between the recognition of the workers who are covered by permits as compared with workers who are not.
