Government approves ratification of ILO Convention on Domestic Workers

The Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Mr. Richard Bruton, TD, today (9^th July 2014) announced the Government’s decision to ratify the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Convention on Decent Work for Domestic Workers (No. 189), 2011.

In order to raise awareness and provide information on the rights of domestic workers, NERA (the National Employment Rights Authority) has prepared a leaflet on the employment rights of domestic workers in Ireland which it has launched to coincide with ratification of the Convention. NERA has carried out a programme of inspections involving domestic workers, and continues to respond to any complaints it receives from domestic workers.
