My question relates to the possibility of the Minister regulating the au pair industry. Recently I had a visit from some au pairsin the south east. They relayed to me some horror stories of exploitation, poor working conditions and abusive treatment. One lady pointed out that she was working 60 hours per week for a €120, which is €2 per hour. This is a breach of all Irish employment laws. What changes will the Minister bring about to regulate this industry?
