Kathleen Lynch
Question:39 Kathleen Lynch asked the Minister for the Marine if his attention has been drawn to the plight of non-EU nationals working on Irish port dredging contracts who are paid less than their Irish counterparts and whose working conditions do not comply with Irish safety standards; if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that such offshore workers are not covered by Irish labour regulations; the proposals, if any, he has to make dredging and port improvement contracts conditional on the tendering company's adherence to accepted standards of worker pay and protection; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
