Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

From what the Deputy says, the situation is even more serious than that. She has recounted that one truck smashed into three cars and another truck got involved in some other kind of incident. If that is the case, are these drivers properly licensed to drive trucks of this size, or should I understand that these are people who are incompetent and unqualified to drive trucks of this scale?

The Deputy raised a fundamental point. If workers in a unionised position working for a company were not even informed of the requirement to take a drop of between €250 and €270 per week, it seems extraordinary that this was done without any consultation. The Deputy also mentioned NERA. I will see it is contacted and will also ensure that the LRC is informed of the situation. It has a tried and proven record in many sensitive cases over the years.
