It was always thus, I suppose, and it will remain. I received a parliamentary question response from the Tánaiste's office regarding the WRC inspections. They revised the figure of 46% non-compliance with WRC inspectors upwards to 48%. In terms of the number of meat processing inspections by the WRC inspectors, 48% of those were found to be non-compliant with employment law and substantial amounts, possibly not when balanced with the profits within the industry but when compared to the earnings of those on low wages, were recovered on behalf of workers that they should have been paid. Does that worry Mr. Healy at all? It would worry me if I was representing that industry. I have to be frank.
