Industrial Relations
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-27
============================================================

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

The purpose of this question is to ask why the Government has not done what it has promised on several different occasions, namely, to provide a remedy for migrant fishers, or any fishers, who are overworked. They are working long hours in contravention of the EU directive. Currently, they cannot go to the WRC. The Government has promised on multiple occasions that it will introduce amending legislation to enable the fishers to do so, but it keeps failing to do it. It is the migrant workers who are losing out. I will give examples later.
