108. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the plans that are in place to engage with the various unions with regard to Ukrainian refugees to agree on their employment conditions to ensure they are not exploited when employed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerIn Ireland, there is a robust suite of employment protections in place. I wish to confirm to the Deputy that migrant workers benefit from the same statutory employment protections as their Irish and EEA resident counterparts.
Along with the Government, our State Agencies, Trade Unions and employer representative organisations are committed to ensuring that every Ukrainian person who arrives in Ireland is welcomed and provided with all the supports and protections they require to make them feel safe and integrated into our communities right across the country.
