I am sure the Taoiseach is aware of the campaign under way this week to highlight the worsening exploitation of domestic servants who have the protection of virtually no labour law in this country and, where labour law applies to them, it is not enforced. I refer to people being paid a fraction of the national minimum wage or who are grossly exploited in terms of hours. These workers are largely migrants. Is the Government contemplating any legislative measures to give some protection to this weakest section of the migrant worker population?
