Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

To follow on from Deputy Penrose, domestic workers are clearly exposed. We know that from the MRCI, which tells us that the majority of complaints it receives are from the domestic employment sector. I heard the audio recording to which Deputy Penrose referred.

I accept the Minister of State's point on NERA not being able to inspect the home. Is he considering doing anything in particular to try to rule out the exploitation that is taking place, particularly of domestic workers who were isolated? Their circumstances are shocking. I agree with Deputy Penrose that the audio recording was shocking. Clearly, the circumstances described are fairly widespread in the domestic sector.
