Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I am not familiar with the specifics of the case the Deputy has raised, but generally it makes sense that employers would look after their workers. I am not supportive of the outsourcing policy or trend. Ireland is very close to full employment in our economy. In that context, it is crucial that there are quality jobs, and that pay and conditions reflect the talent, commitment and enthusiasm of those who are working for firms and companies. The policy outlined by the Deputy seems to me to be counter-intuitive and counterproductive for retaining staff.
