Calls for Ireland to double number of permits to protect migrant fishermen | Global development | The Guardian: "The Irish government will have to issue at least 1,000 work permits to non-EU migrant fishermen – double the number announced by the government last week – if they want to provide protection to all those currently working on Irish trawlers, according to representatives from the Irish fishing industry.
On Friday the Irish government said it was planning to issue 500 work permits for migrants employed in its fishing industry who are from outside the European Economic Area, and ensure they are paid the national minimum wage. The announcement followed a three-week inquiry prompted by a Guardian investigation into alleged labour abuses on Irish fishing trawlers."
