The Minister for Enterprise, Trade & Employment, Micheál Martin, has said the Government has recovered over €1 million this year for workers who have been underpaid by unscrupulous employers.
Mr Martin was responding to claims by the Labour Spokesperson on Enterprise, Trade & Employment, Ruairi Quinn, that the Government was failing to properly implement labour law.
The minister said six times more inspections had taken place in 2006 than in 2005.
