Media to the rescue of migrant workers

THE plight of the Polish and Latvian migrant workers in Donegal followed up by Joe Duffy on his Liveline programme last week inspired the kind of response that proves there is an abundance of kindness and goodwill in Irish people.

This goes to show that journalists could achieve much more for these people than the political system.

The media were the only people who could help, which is a sad indictment of our system in which there is no provision even for emergency food other than the price of a single bus ticket to Dublin.
