Provision of Accommodation and Ancillary Services to Applicants for International Protection: Statements (13 Nov 2019)

Robert Troy: This debate is timely. Gandhi once wrote that the true measure of a society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members. History will not be kind to Ireland when it comes to this period. It will show that we treated some of the most vulnerable people in the most inhumane manner through direct provision. It will show that we, as a society, did not always show humility and, in...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (13 Nov 2019)

Robert Troy: Our SMEs and the self-employed are the backbone of our economy. They are trying once again to pay their annual taxes but they are totally frustrated because like yesterday when the system was down, it is down again today and they cannot meet their obligations.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of Employment Permits (Consolidation and Amendment) Bill: Discussion (13 Nov 2019)

Robert Troy: I welcome our guests here this evening. Previous speakers have referred to the need for seasonal work permits. Ms Dunne said that there is quite clearly an obvious need. Will Ms Dunne explain why she believes there is that need? What are the underlying conditions that warrant us going outside Ireland and the EU to get people to work in seasonal jobs?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of Employment Permits (Consolidation and Amendment) Bill: Discussion (13 Nov 2019)

Robert Troy: That is okay. To be fair, I pre-empted the answer Ms Dunne was going to give, and I agree, but it is not just restricted to seasonal work permits. Many other workforce sectors face the exact same challenges. The hospitality sector is finding it next to impossible to get cleaning and housekeeping staff and in restaurants, it is front of house and waiting staff. These are all necessary jobs...
