Joe Higgins (Dublin West, Socialist Party)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the statement by Gama Construction yesterday to the Labour Relations Commission that it is sacking all its Turkish workers who were on work stoppage despite the workers voting for SIPTU to negotiate a return to work; the campaign of harassment by Gama associates in Turkey of the families of Turkish workers who are seeking payment of their unpaid overtime, with the aim of forcing all these workers to leave the State so that no evidence can be given in support of their claim; and the need for the Government to intervene immediately to secure justice for these workers.
