December 23, 2024

A recently published Economic and Social Research Institute report on non-EU nationals in irregular employment in Ireland indicated that the food service activity sector accounted for 54 per cent of employment permit legislation breaches in 2023, with 12 per cent in hair and beauty, and 11 per cent in wholesale. The ESRI also raised concerns about the low number of work permit inspectors.
