The Fianna Fáil Chairman of Louth County Council is rapidly backtracking from his previous remarks that migrant workers should be paid less. In the Dundalk Democrat Cllr. Jimmy Mulroy said that "If any other interpretation was construed from my comments, I am deeply sorry”, despite the fact that it would be pretty hard to construe anything different from the comments that migrant workers "are very happy with €10 an hour" and "it can be equivalent to a month's wage in their home country" and then that they would be “less employable” should they wish to get the same wages as their Irish counterparts. Sinn Fein councillor Kevin Meenan said of his remarks, who said, "I was very shocked by what he said. I couldn't believe he was saying that."These people don't fly home at night. They stay here and live in a country that has a high a cost of living."
