It is great to see the partnership Government working. I never thought I would see the day when Deputy Naughten was standing in for the Taoiseach.

I would like to raise a serious issue that has been brought to my attention with regard to the Enniscorthy joint venture and the awarding of the contract for that critical piece of infrastructure. I understand the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and Transport Infrastructure Ireland have been made aware that a contract awarded has subsequently been subcontracted to a European company that is proposing to bring in its own workers and accommodation and to pay its workers substantially less than the minimum wage. If allowed to proceed, this will have negative consequences. What is the Government doing to ensure that we do not have another GAMA on our hands?
