Takeaway ordered to pay up over workers with no permits

A Chinese takeaway owner in Dublin has been given a chance to avoid a criminal conviction for having two employees with no valid work permits.

Mother-of-one, Lichang Chen, aged 31, with an address at Churchwell Mews, Belmayne, Dublin 13, and her business trading as Lemon Tree, pleaded guilty at Dublin District Court to breaching the Employment Permits Act.
