would irish workers like to be treated like that in other countries which we are now going to looking for jobs. whatever work he done he deserved payment for wether it be valuable or not he should have been paid for his time and not the money spent on pamelas hair dye

man I am looking for the whole episode I really need it

I think that the foreign chap was lucky to have experience working in an english speaking environment..with the current economic crisis it's quite natural that "less valuable" workers in society may be robbed of their wages intirely..those kids from NCAD should be trying to get his old job rather than protesting..

I am ashamed to say that I am Irish after watching Prime Time's investigation about slave labor/exploitation of immigrant workers in Ireland. I hope these unfortunate people get the justice that they deserve and that all the named offenders go out of business.
