Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss a matter of extreme importance, namely, the ongoing exploitation of migrant workers in the restaurant sector according to a recent report which discovered that over half of migrant workers earn less than the minimum wage, 44% receive no breaks and 85% did not receive a contract or terms of employment; and the need for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to end the two and a half year delay on passing the employment compliance Bill so that inspectors can impose on-the-spot fines for breaches of employment law and to change the work permit regime so that non-EU workers are no longer tied to one employer.
