Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

In the construction sector there is a strong belief that some trade union members are being black-listed from building sites because they are trade union activists. Tonight three men are in Mountjoy Prison for so-called contempt of court for picketing a building site. This is unacceptable. How many employers have served a day in jail for creating unsafe working conditions that have led directly to injury or death? We know the answer to this question is none at all.
