James Breen (Clare, Independent)

How many labour inspectors are employed per county? What are their powers of inspection? When they visit a company, do they inspects its books and wage sheets? Has anyone been brought before the courts as a result of the under-payment of workers at Gama or as a result of what happened at Moneypoint? Has anyone been prosecuted? Recently, a small business in Lisdoonvarna was prosecuted but multinationals can do as they please and get away it. Will Gama officials or representatives of the company in Moneypoint be taken to court?
