Lawyers For Justice Ireland(@LFJIreland):In a further blow to Irish workers the government are not only expanding work permits for foreign workers but are also planning to get rid of the 50:50 rule, which has been in place since the inception of the Employment Permit Act 2006. The 50:50 rule means that at least 50% of an employer's workforce must be Irish/EEA. The government are proposing to scrap this rule so that certain sectors can employ even more migrant workers. The Central Bank must be happy with this latest move which demonstrates the government are serving the interests of the globalist agenda, rather than the interests of Irish workers. In 2019 the Central Bank published a "warning" that Ireland needed more migrants to drive down wages.
