Immigrant Workers: Motion.
3:00 pm
Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)
I move amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 1:
In line 4, after "Ireland" to insert ", wherever it occurs".
It should have been Senator Leyden speaking at this point, but he has disappeared. I am glad to contribute to this evening's debate, as I did on a previous occasion.
We had a general debate during our first week back after Easter, as requested. I take Senator Quinn's point. Even though the amendment is in my name, as a red-clawed socialist I would not leave the amendment as it was. We condemn the exploitation of all workers in Ireland wherever it occurs. The former wording was quite ribald.
