Yeah it is, in the Cornmarket Square building across from Angel Lane. Makes me think twice about going there again.

If he was working 77 hours a week on 4.46 per hour for one year and then 6.25 per hour for nearly 3 years he must have saved up some amount of money

Personally I hope the local media pick up on it and run something. Will never go near that place again. Hate people that exploit others.

Oh... I have a voucher for the Poppadom in Limerick.

I'm still going to use it. It's been paid for, so if I don't then they made €50 at zero cost to them... I might as well get some food out of it.

This is deeply unpleasant news though... I wonder how much the lads in Limerick knew about it?

That owner should at least be jailed for what he did.

It's one thing breaching employment legislation but it's another to exploit someones human rights. That man trafficked another human being into this country and used him as a slave, and to think he was coming here to legitimatley provide a better life for his wife and children back home.

Shameful!

Treating somebody as badly as he did is unforgiveable and deserves nothing less than a prison sentence.

@ Burning Eclipse - I'd take the voucher and buy as many bottles of Tiger Beer as I could from it and leave. I wouldn't eat there again, never!

I think the restaurant in Limerick opened several years after the events of this case took place.

- from the article:

Mr Hussein even ....auction in 2001.

He also flirted with politics, supporting his friend businessman Shaheen Ahmed in his bid to get elected for Fianna Fail in the last local elections in South Dublin County Council.

For that reason alone I'll stay well out of it

Is Poppadom a franchise operation, does anybody know? If so, the Limerick one might not be all that connected with the Dublin one.

Saying that, I remember around the time of the Turkish Gama road construction workers being underpaid it was being bandied about in the media that Ireland had more dog licence inspectors than labour rights inspectors, and I'm not all too sure if that situation has changed.

no there is no franchise...Only thing I would like to say is whoever gets caught is a thief,,plenty of them around..as mentioned by a bordie here, it doesnt make any differance you boycott them or not...how many are u going to boycott..indian, chinese, kebabs...list is endless even I know a famous pizza chain underpaying their employees and they work overtime from at least 5 years as far as I know (60 hours a week and one off a week). they are underpaid almost 20% less than NMW...and not to mention no holiday pay or holidays...so many just keep their mouth shut cos they have no choice..It makes me emotional so will give up writing more..

If we are talking about an Indian then the mob should really be in 19th century British army uniforms.:p


Cowboy mobs are only used againt Native Americans and Mexicans.

Annasopra

There was an article in Yesterdays sunday times - he hasn't been paid anything and there is going to be a protest at the clondalkin branch calling for a boycott

I worked in <mod snip> and I can say ..animals are treated better ,
If only people knew what they are really like ...scum

the drifter

Hi soprano123 ive had to edit out the name of the establishment. If you have issues with how you were treated as a staff member i suggest taking them up through the appropriate channels

Annasopra

apparently they're gonna cover this on Primetime tonight

I propose that anyone who feels that Poppadom deserves their just deserts should ring them and order food. A lot of food preferably and do this night after night from blocked and varying numbers.

- Thats it, let them sit there looking at it mature and cool as nobody picks it up

badboyblast

It's in the original post - basically the Poppadom restaurant in Dublin had a worker who was working nearly 80 hours a week for 50 cent an hour. He was treated like a slave. he won over 90 grand in the labour court and has received nothing.
