Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Resourcing and Capacity of the Workplace Relations Commission: Discussion

Mr. Liam Kelly:

Absolutely, Deputy. All inspectors bring with them a multilingual questionnaire. As we talk to the fishers we take them through the various questions on their rights, for example, do they know what their rights are and what they are getting. That is in their native language. We do what we can in those circumstances. I will consider the broader use of interpreters and am happy to do so. It is clearly an issue which has been raised by the International Transport Workers Federation, ITF, the recent Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, GRETA, report and the Migrants Rights Centre Ireland report, which are very good reports. We have to consider that.
