Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

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

Mr. Cormac Healy:

I am specifically answering on that. It is not necessarily out of par. It is important to point out it is not, as far as I am aware across our membership, that anything has gone to prosecution. If matters have been raised, they are addressed and dealt with.

The Deputy mentioned a figure of €180,000 in recovered wages. I accept fully it is important that should be corrected and dealt with but I would point out that is €180,000 over a six-year period where the total wage bill of the sector was more than €2.8 billion.
