Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

Question 75: To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if his attention has been drawn to the fact that certain agricultural producers, in particular in the mushroom-picking industry, are forcing employees to present themselves as independent contractors or to work for piece-rates in order that the payment of the minimum wage and other labour entitlements can be avoided; if he will undertake to have an inspection carried out in an enterprise (details supplied) in County Tipperary to ensure that the standards of employment are compliant with the legislation for which he has responsibility; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
