Ceisteanna - Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic (20 Oct 2021)

Paul Murphy: The Government policy of hear no evil, see no evil in the schools is now unfortunately coming to fruition. I want pay tribute to Ms Vicky Barron, the principal of CBS Primary School in Wexford town. The school made the decision to close because more than 10% of their pupils had Covid-19. She appropriately made the point on the radio that the HSE says this is not a school outbreak. What is...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (20 Oct 2021)

Paul Murphy: I want to ask the Taoiseach about the retired County Kerry judge, James O'Connor, about whom I have previously raised shocking cases of abuse of power and an example of institutional sexism. When I last raised the cases with the Taoiseach, he said, "I am very concerned about it and about what I have read today in the articles the Deputy mentioned. I will give further consideration to this...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Resourcing and Capacity of the Workplace Relations Commission: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Paul Murphy: I thank the WRC, Mr. O'Brien and the ITF. I refer to the Maynooth study and thank the researchers for doing it. The headline findings were that over two thirds of the participants observed they could work between 15 and 20 hours per day. One third reported feeling safe on the vessel, so two thirds did not feel safe. Over half of the participants had been subjected to racial and verbal...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Resourcing and Capacity of the Workplace Relations Commission: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Paul Murphy: I thank Mr. O'Brien for setting out a number of clear legislative and practice deficiencies that have resulted in significant failures for undocumented fishers. In regard to the cognisable period, Mr. Kelly's response to Deputy Bruton was that it can be set at 12 months in exceptional circumstances. Even allowing for that, does he accept there is a problem whereby what may work for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Resourcing and Capacity of the Workplace Relations Commission: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Paul Murphy: A problem undocumented fishers have in terms of vindicating their rights is that they are not in lawful employment, which means complaints related to fundamental rights such as the right to a minimum wage cannot be pursued by ITF on their behalf. Does Mr. Kelly agree that this presents a significant problem and means that it is, in effect, in the WRC's hands as to whether a case is pursued?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Resourcing and Capacity of the Workplace Relations Commission: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Paul Murphy: How does Mr. Kelly explain there being only one case in seven years? We are hearing about how widespread the problems in the industry are and how workers do not have another recourse. Yet, the WRC has taken only one case in seven years.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Resourcing and Capacity of the Workplace Relations Commission: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Paul Murphy: I add my voice to those thanking Mr. Ken Fleming for his work and hoping Mr. O'Brien will be able to fill his shoes. I have a question for him. In his opinion, what impact would the Government's proposed documentation scheme for migrants have on the fishers?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Resourcing and Capacity of the Workplace Relations Commission: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Paul Murphy: I thank Mr. O'Brien. I presume he would agree with Deputy Bruton's highlighting of a fundamental problem with the atypical scheme being the tying of a worker to a particular employer and that it massively shifts the balance of power in the employer's favour. It certainly creates an environment whereby this sort of abuse is more likely to happen.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Resourcing and Capacity of the Workplace Relations Commission: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Paul Murphy: I thank Mr. O'Brien. Turning to Mr. Kelly, I wish to follow up on the question of one case in seven years, as we finished our engagement when he was making that point. Is he basically saying that is because the Minister has only made what sounds like two requests, those being the one successful case and the case the WRC decided not to pursue. Is that fundamentally why the commission has so...
