1. (U) There is no record of forced labor used in the
production of goods in Ireland. One non-governmental
organization (NGO) reported several cases of forced labor in
the service industry and in agricultural production.
However, discussions with Ireland's Department of Enterprise,
Trade and Employment, Department of Justice, other NGOs, and
embassies of the suspected victims did not support these
claims. According to government and NGO contacts, most of
the cases cited as forced labor were more accurately
situations of labor exploitation. A number of these
exploited workers have brought successful lawsuits against
their employers.
2. (U) There is no record or allegations of child labor used
in the production of goods in Ireland.
