165. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he will outline any engagement by his Department in a model of recruitment (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53464/22]
View answerMy Department has not had any engagement with the company in question regarding its recruitment model.
The Employment Equality Acts, which fall under the remit of the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, provide protection for employees in both the public and private sectors as well as applicants for employment and training.
The Acts outlaw discrimination in work-related areas such as pay, access to employment, work experience and promotion. The publication of discriminatory advertisements and discrimination by employers, vocational training bodies and employment agencies, e.g. trades unions and employer associations, is outlawed.
