Employers should give serious consideration to employing people seeking asylum in Ireland to work in their businesses, the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission has claimed

Employers should give serious consideration to employing people seeking asylum in Ireland to work in their businesses, the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission has claimed.

"Since 2018, people seeking International Protection in Ireland have been able to seek work, but not enough employers know how to access this talent pool," said IHREC Chief Commissioner Sinéad Gibney. Yet of the 6,837 who were granted permission to work, just 60%, or 4,091, are now in employed or self-employed work.

"But being eligible and being able to secure employment are two very different things If they can't find the jobs or employers who recognise their qualifications and experience to provide the decent work they need." It also sets out guidelines for employers about how the process should work and provides examples of companies that have successfully done it, including Deloitte and Zartis.
