Migrant workers conventions
Michael P. Kitt asks when Ireland will ratify international conventions on migrant workers’ rights and equality; the Taoiseach points to a forthcoming interdepartmental working group.
Regarding legislation on three international conventions on migrant workers’ rights, employment and equality of opportunity, the British Government has ratified the convention on migration for employment. It is very relevant that these conventions are ratified. When will we ratify them?
Comment on this
Earlier, I addressed the current issue regarding migration workers arising from a recent report in The Guardian. The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Coveney and other Ministers will respond on Thursday in the context of setting up a working group across several Departments to examine this.
