Government still ‘failing’ domestic workers, MRCI claims

The Government has been accused of "failing" domestic workers falling prey to exploitation by not ratifying laws aimed at securing their rights.

The Migrant Rights Centre Ireland yesterday marked International Domestic Workers Day by stating that the Government needed to ratify the ILO Domestic Workers Convention, claiming “justice delayed is justice denied”.

The MRCI’s Domestic Workers Action Group said au pairs, carers, childminders, cleaners, and housekeepers were still being exploited and experiencing poor working conditions.
