Protection of Employees (Fixed-Term Work) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
Senator McDowell also mentioned employment agencies. They are not excluded from the Bill. Fines will be increased to act as a deterrent in terms of the obligations under the Employment Agency Act 1971. If there are any cases of non-national workers being abused by agencies, we would be grateful if they were brought to the attention of the labour inspectorate where they can be investigated. These workers have the same rights as Irish workers.
