I wish to address briefly the issue of employment agencies. Many of the people employed on fixed-term contracts are non-nationals who are employed here on work visas for short or fixed periods. These people are employed either through the intervention of or directly through employment agencies. As far as I can gather, employment agencies are excluded from the remit of the Bill. I am not sure whether it is the intention of the Minister of State to introduce specific legislation to deal with employment agencies and non-nationals who work to them. It is clear, however, that there is a need to ensure that the rights we accord to Irish citizens are not only accorded to non-nationals working here, but also enforced. There are far too many examples of people from outside the European Union being routinely exploited by employers and employment agencies operating here. The scope of the legislation should be extended to include this group if possible.
