Paul Murphy: I asked the Taoiseach about the Iceland workers earlier and he agreed with me the workers should be paid what they were owed and should go to the WRC to achieve that. The problem, as the Taoiseach knows, is that is not a simple or quick process. The State treats wage theft differently than it does other forms of theft.
