I am not happy to have discovered that European Union (Czech Republic) workers are being paid €3 an hour on the site. A correspondent reports on the actual employment conditions facing Czech workers in the booming Irish private property construction sector. NOTE: this story has been updated following contact with the developers. See update note and comment below from Mark Conroy read full story / add a comment |
