I recently met with the Migrant Rights Council of Ireland and discussed the issue of the welfare of domestic workers employed in private homes with them. I intend to continue to monitor the situation regarding these workers. The information sought by the Deputy requires research to be carried out by personnel engaged in industrial action. The information will be provided as soon as possible after the cessation of this action.
