Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Employers found to have false permits will have recourse to the law. If there was subterfuge which had led an employer to inadvertently employ a person without a permit, it would become apparent and the person in question would have a firm claim in law which would be upheld by the courts. I fully support these punitive measures which are being introduced to safeguard workers against employers who seek to exploit them by failing to comply with the provisions of the legislation. That is the least we can do.
