That multinational, for example, had to pay fines in compensation to New York City for overcharging the city for food and facilities management services. This is the sort of company it is. The Government is outsourcing home help services to that company, degrading services here and cutting services to the most vulnerable sectors of society and attacking the pay and conditions of home help assistants who provide those services. I ask the Taoiseach to reverse the cuts in home help services that are affecting the most vulnerable sectors of our society, to end the privatisation of home help services, to guarantee proper contracts and security of earnings and end the attacks on the conditions of more than 13,000 home help workers in this country who look after our most vulnerable citizens.
