A lot of workers have been exploited in Ireland. Some of them are local; some are immigrants who have come to work from another country. Most of these people, especially foreign workers, have no idea about where to complain and are afraid of losing their jobs. Sometime they just don’t realise that they had been exploited.

The only way to tackle exploitation is to report it and to do so as soon as possible. So if you are concerned about working hours, work breaks, rates of pay or holiday entitlements or you think you have been exploited then you can contact some organizations below for free help and advice.
