Employment Permits Bill 2003: Second Stage.
Cases of employers exploiting the work permit system, by replacing Irish workers with cheap labour from some of the countries I have mentioned, have been outlined in the media recently. Non-nationals have, unfortunately, been treated disgracefully in some cases. Certain employers will no longer be able to exploit the system when the new legislation comes into effect. Our colleagues from the new EU member states will be given better and fairer opportunities in the employment sector.
