UN raises concern to Government about treatment of migrant fishermen
UN Special Rapporteurs have raised concerns to the Irish Government about alleged exploitation, mistreatment and risks to people’s safety in relation to the permit scheme for non-EU fishermen here.
The four rapporteurs have written to the Irish Government through its Irish Permanent Mission in Geneva raising information they have received about the Atypical Working Scheme (AWS) and allegations of trafficking in persons and severe forms of labour exploitation of migrant fishermen.
