Deafening silence on plight of low-paid immigrants

NON-IRISH workers (the term ‘non-national’ is as spurious and downright silly as it is offensive) are being widely exploited here.

A statutory body revealed recently that 40% of complaints submitted to it came from migrant workers, an over-representation of fourfold or so on their actual distribution.

What complaints? Illegally low pay, enforced long hours, personalised harassment, summary dismissal.
