Migrant workers ‘denied basic rights in Ireland’

MIGRANT workers still aren’t receiving full rights in Ireland and not enough resources are being given to help and support them, according to the Immigrant Council of Ireland (ICI) and the ICTU.

The warnings were made to coincide with International Migrants’ Day 2006, which is taking place in Ireland — and across the globe — today.

The ICI said 4,800 migrants and Irish people sought advice from the council between July 2005 and July 2006.
