A migrant rights organisation is seeking a meeting with Taoiseach Micheál Martin on the need to "clean up" and regulate the meat sector, and to provide better working conditions for workers.

Migrant Rights Centre Ireland (MRCI) raised concern over working conditions in meat factories, where a number of clusters of Covid-19 have occurred recently.
