Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88) - Ireland (Ratification: 1969)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation, which read as follows:

Repetition

The Committee notes that the Government’s last report was provided in October 2005. Following the deterioration that took place in the employment situation since 2008, the Committee invites the Government to provide information on the measures adopted by the public employment service to achieve the best possible organization of the employment market and to meet the needs of the economy and the active population (Articles 1 and 3 of the Convention). It also invites the Government to provide relevant information concerning the number of public employment offices established, the number of applications for employment received, the number of vacancies notified, and the number of persons placed in employment by such offices in each region of the country (Part IV of the report form).

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
