Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Workplace Relations Commission (2 Nov 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: The question is, like all of my questions, very straightforward. I hope that the answer will be forthcoming. It is simply to ask if the Minister of State's attention has been drawn to the fact that the WRC is not informing the relevant agencies and Departments of breaches in the atypical work permit scheme in the fishing sector. I am sure that the importance of this scheme is not lost on...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Workplace Relations Commission (2 Nov 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: Is it suggested that every time notification does not happen, there has to be a meeting of the Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment? That is not sustainable or fair, particularly to the workers in the fishing industry who are dependent on these arrangements. We are talking about breaches ranging from a failure to grant annual leave or a public holiday entitlement right up to...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Workplace Relations Commission (2 Nov 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I absolutely agree; it is past time. The Minister of State said an update is something to consider. I agree on that. Perhaps he will, at the next opportunity, create a timeline for the update because these things tend to drift if a robust timeframe is not put in place. I am thinking about the necessary work done by the WRC, but the fact that there is no follow-up regarding prosecutions...

Louise O'Reilly: The question relates to a research paper entitled Inside Out Hospitality: A Study of Working Conditions in the Hospitality Sector in Ireland, which was published during the summer by Dr. Deirdre Curran of NUI Galway. The findings it contains are quite stark. They are very troubling. My questions are simple. Has the Tánaiste read the paper? Was he disturbed by what is in it? Does he...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Employment Rights (2 Nov 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Tánaiste for the response. The findings are very worrying. The Tánaiste outlined what is in place to protect workers, but the findings not just from Dr. Curran's research but also from Unite the Union's research paper, Hidden Truths - The reality of work in Ireland's hospitality and tourism sector, point to an industry where there are significant issues. As I have to...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Employment Rights (2 Nov 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: The cigire cannot be there all of the time but, for the avoidance of doubt, the trade union will be there all of the time. This is the best defence a worker has and the best chance of vindicating people's rights at work. The Tánaiste pointed to the issues in the sector. Some of them relate to the fact that there are many migrant workers in the sector. Some of them also relate to the...
