Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I am not aware that legislation is proposed for this session to cover any such position. A question to the Minister for labour affairs might elicit a more accurate and updated reply. No one in the House would condone exploitation of any people, particularly vulnerable people, and therefore whatever labour law framework we have in place should be as supportive and protective of those people as possible. I cannot be any more specific.
