Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I thank the Minister of State for attending to answer our questions on this critical issue. I welcome the Taoiseach's comments yesterday in regard to sharp practice. A situation where a chief executive who earns €14,617 a week and has a personal fortune of €20 million invested in his company can tell workers to leave and that he will replace them with employees who might be paid €1 per week is an utter disgrace. It is absolute gangsterism.
