Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I deplore the practice of employing workers in this manner, particularly not registering workers under the atypical working scheme and making sure workers get their full entitlements under the law. What happened here is very wrong. I read the reports about the two individuals whose lives were endangered but who, thankfully, were rescued. It is unacceptable. The investigations have to take place. The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine is aware of the case. It is a significant issue which the industry must deal with on its own terms but the investigating authorities will pursue the specifics of this case. The Minister for Justice is considering the wider issue of undocumented people in the country and will make proposals.
