Challenges Facing the Technology Sector: Discussion

Ms Una Fitzpatrick:

With Technology Ireland and IBEC, everything we say is published publicly and available on our website. I urge Deputies to check us out.

On the broader technology point around the ecosystem and the small number of redundancies, our membership fully respect and implement Irish labour laws. The members of Technology Ireland have asked me to state on the record that they do not want the behaviour of a small minority to be reflective of the industry as a whole and they do not support those actions. The wider industry is fully compliant with the requirements of Ireland's labour laws, and that behaviour is not standard practice.
