The Joint Committee on Jobs, Social Protection and Education will launch its report A Review of the Status of Casual Workers in Ireland on Tuesday 15th May 2012 at 12.30am in the AV Room, Leinster House, Dublin 2.
The report makes a number of important recommendations and observations on the issue of part-time and casual work in Ireland.
Report author and Committee Member Anthony Lawlor TD, said: “With so many people unemployed, we should be encouraging people to try and enter the workforce, even if it is only part-time work. By going ahead with the reforms suggested in this report, we will be taking a step towards improving the standard of living of jobseekers and creating a fairer and equitable social welfare system.”
