What is involved here is the exploitation of Turkish workers by Turkish firms, not by Irish employers. Furthermore, the permits should be given to the applicants, not the employers. This is where the difficulty arises. I hope the Department will publish the report tomorrow with the support of this House and that the courts will not suppress the truth. The courts are interfering with the rights of the Oireachtas by granting injunctions to prevent the publication of this report. The Minister should have the courage of his convictions and publish it tomorrow in the House. We can have a worthwhile debate on the Gama workers and other workers who are being exploited.
