dc.description.abstract | The growth of global economic activity has resulted in a world-wide increase in
migration. This economic expansion has been welcome but at the same time
has brought new challenges. Ireland, once regarded as a country of emigration,
is now an economy dependent on the labour of non-Irish workers. In 2003 over
47,000 work permits were issued. In comparative terms, Ireland¿s current rate of
immigration per capita is double that of the United States. Yet, there are two
contrasting images of non-national workers in Ireland. On the one hand, non-
Irish national workers are viewed as a source of cheap labour, easily
disposable and found in the tertiary labour market. On the other hand there
exists the image of such workers as highly skilled and central to Ireland¿s
economic boom of recent years. Despite conflicting media reports, there
remains little detailed research on labour relations practices as experienced by
non-Irish workers. | en |
