Employment Permits Bill 2005: Report Stage. (5 Apr 2006)

Arthur Morgan: I submitted an amendment with regard to a non-EEA national. I hope the Minister accepts that the term "non-EEA national" describes more accurately the person to whom the Bill will apply because people within the EEA area will clearly not require work permits. Therefore, that would be the more relevant amendment. Amendment No. 18 proposes to delete, in page 6, line 17, the definition which...

Employment Permits Bill 2005: Report Stage. (5 Apr 2006)

Arthur Morgan: I move amendment No. 16: In page 6, between lines 7 and 8, to insert the following: ""family" means spouse, partner (opposite or same sex) and children of a permit holder;". This amendment inserts a definition of the family to facilitate the inclusion of amendment No. 101, which inserts a new section on the entitlements of a permit holder. Migrant workers make an enormously valuable...

Employment Permits Bill 2005: Report Stage. (5 Apr 2006)

Arthur Morgan: There is the prospect of some movement on this issue. However, it is most unfortunate that it falls to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. Members know his past public pronouncements on how inequality is good for society. He is certainly living up to these because this is a gross inequality and involves a two-tier permit system. There will be those who come to the country on...

Employment Permits Bill 2005: Report Stage. (5 Apr 2006)

Arthur Morgan: This amendment seeks to deal with the issue of bonded labour, which is fundamental as far as my party is concerned. It is a problem at the core of the Bill wherein the permit holder is tied to one employer, even where that employer is exploitative. Unfortunately, it also exposes a two-tier system again because clearly the other category of permit holder is not bonded in this way and is not...

Employment Permits Bill 2005: Report Stage. (5 Apr 2006)

Arthur Morgan: Some of the points I wished to raise have been covered by Deputy Howlin so I will not repeat them. Any worker should be entitled to apply for and hold an employment permit. That does not take away from advertising and other issues that do not arise in this respect. The advertising and recruitment process can still occur, after which the worker can apply for a permit. It should be as...

There has been a long-running campaign for the closure of this notorious plant, the safety record of which is particularly appalling. There has been a litany of accidents, leaks, inaccurate records, missing material, and many court appearances and convictions. The decision of the...

Residential Tenancies (Amendment) Bill 2006: Second Stage (Resumed). (5 Apr 2006)

Arthur Morgan: I welcome the opportunity to discuss the urgent necessity for regulation of housing management companies. Many Members of the House have been highlighting this issue for some time.
