Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I agree with the Deputy. I have long had concerns about that model of work used by Deliveroo or Just East involving young people, many of whom are migrants. To say the very least, there has always been the potential for exploitation in situations like that. The Government will consider this and I will talk to the Minister in respect of the basic existing labour legislation to see what additional measures we can take to protect workers in these situations. What normally happens with EU directives is toing and froing and discussions and it evolves, and eventually there is agreement. I will discuss what the up-to-date position is on that directive.
