Ms Bríd O'Brien:

We need to encourage employers and get them to step up. Many of them are looking at the areas of equality, diversity and integration, which is welcome. That is why we would like to see socioeconomic status as a ground. That issue is included in all of that work. It needs to go beyond doing something nice to really opening the door for people and letting them into the room. Rather than doing just the corporate social responsibility bit, it is about employers really opening the door and saying to people they will give them a job. They are then one of their employees and people will work to try to ensure no issues arise in the place of work. If issues arise, they will be dealt with appropriately and in good time so that they do not come to a head.
