Report on Working Conditions and Skills Shortages in Ireland's Tourism and Hospitality Sector: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2023-02-22
============================================================

Niamh Smyth (FF), Cavan-Monaghan

It is important that we speak properly and representatively of those organisations. I think any of my colleagues, including those in the Senator's party, will agree that those who have come before us do not discount, devalue or disregard their staff. They have all come in and said that they do not have a business without their staff. That has to be said and recognised. The Senator cannot just make sweeping comments that sully their reputation.
